Talk:Condition for Complex Root of Unity to be Primitive

I suggest to rename this article, in conformity with Complex Roots of Unity in Exponential Form. See also Talk:Complex Roots of Unity in Exponential Form. --barto (talk) 16:31, 3 December 2016 (EST)


 * What I did should work, yeah? --prime mover (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2016 (EST)


 * I'd add the word 'complex'. Also, it's more than a condition, it's really a characterization. I propose either Characterization of Primitive Complex Roots of Unity or Primitive Complex Roots of Unity in Exponential Form. In view of alphabetic ordering, the second seems better. --barto (talk) 17:02, 3 December 2016 (EST)


 * As a "primitive root of unity" is by definition already complex, it seemed superfluous to specify that the root under discussion is a complex one. The page lives in Complex Analysis, so it is implicit that the root is complex. Omitting the word "complex" from the title makes it shorter and less unwieldy.


 * Condition / Characterization -- there's a difference? The first is shorter, so again the preference for "condition".


 * As for alphabetic ordering, there has never been a criterion in for such a consideration. Furthermore, "Primitive Complex Roots of Unity in Exponential Form" does not accurately describe what this page is stating, which is a condition which completely defines whether a particular $n$th root of unity is primitive or not. --prime mover (talk) 17:22, 3 December 2016 (EST)


 * Frther thought ... yes of course Definition:Primitive Complex Root of Unity is a different page to Definition:Primitive Root of Unity -- I concede the first point. --prime mover (talk) 17:24, 3 December 2016 (EST)
