Abstract
In 1857, Kronecker [10] showed that if θ1,…, θn are the roots of the polynomial P(z)= zn|cn-1+ … + cn, where c1, …, cn are integers with cn≠0, and if |θ1| ≤ 1, …, |θ1| ≤1, then θ1, …, θn are roots of unity. The proof is short and ingenious: Consider the polynomials Pm(z) whose roots are The condition on the size of the roots and the fact that the ci are integers implies that there can only be a finite number of different Pm. Thus two distinct powers of each root must coincide and this means that each root is a root of unity.
