Let nn be a positive integer and J:=(δi+1,j)1i,jnJ:=(\delta_{i+1,j})_{1\leqslant i,j\leqslant n} where ii is taken modulo nn. Meaning

J=(01(0)01(0)110).J=\begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & & & (0)\\ & 0 & 1 & & \\ & & \ddots&\ddots & \\ &(0) & & \ddots& 1\\ 1 & & & & 0 \end{pmatrix}.

  1. Let a0,,ana_0,\dots, a_{n} be some complex number and :

M(a0,,an)=(aji)1i,jn=(a0a1anana0a1a1a1ana0)M(a_0,\dots,a_n)=(a_{j-i})_{1\leqslant i,j\leqslant n}=\begin{pmatrix} a_0 & a_1 & \dots & \dots & a_{n}\\ a_n & a_0 & a_1 & & \vdots \\ \vdots & \ddots & \ddots&\ddots & \vdots \\ \vdots & & \ddots & \ddots& a_1\\ a_1 & \dots & \dots & a_n & a_0 \end{pmatrix}

is what is called a circulant matrix.

Write MM only as a function of JJ and its powers.

  1. Determine all the eigenvalues of MM thanks to 1) and hereafter show that its determinant is given by the formula

det(M(a0,,an))=k=1nP(e2ikπ/n),\mathrm{det}(M(a_0,\dots,a_n))=\prod_{k=1}^{n} P(e^{2ik\pi/n}),where P(X):=i=0naiXiP(X):=\sum_{i=0}^n a_i X^i.
