Cyclotomic extensions of are totally complex number fields. #

We prove that cyclotomic extensions of are totally complex, meaning that NrRealPlaces K = 0 if IsCyclotomicExtension {n} ℚ K and 2 < n.

Main results #

If K is a n-th cyclotomic extension of , where 2 < n, then there are no real places of K.

If K is a n-th cyclotomic extension of , then there are φ n / n complex places of K. Note that this uses 1 / 2 = 0 in the cases n = 1, 2.
