SEMI-CYCLOTOMIC POLYNOMIALS

The n-th cyclotomic polynomial ${\Phi}_n(x)$ is irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and has integer coefficients. The degree of ${\Phi}_n(x)$ is ${\varphi}(n)$, where ${\varphi}(n)$ is the Euler Phi-function. In this paper, we define Semi-Cyclotomic Polynomial $J_n(x)$. $J_n(x)$ is also irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and has integer coefficients. But the degree of $J_n(x)$ is $\frac{{\varphi}(n)}{2}$. Galois Theory will be used to prove the above properties of $J_n(x)$.
