Abstract

For a subset and a commutative ring with unit, let denote the completion , where runs over all the products of the powers of cyclotomic polynomials with . We will show that under certain conditions the completion can be regarded as a “ring of analytic functions” defined on the set of roots of unity of order in . This means that an element of vanishes if it vanishes on a certain type of infinite set of roots of unity, or if its power series expansion at one root of unity vanishes. In particular, the completion enjoys this property.
