Definition:Multiplicative Group of Complex Roots of Unity

Definition
Let $n \in \Z$ be an integer such that $n > 0$.

Let $U_n := \set {z \in \C: z^n = 1}$ denote the set of complex $n$th roots of unity.

Let $\struct {U_n, \times}$ be the algebraic structure formed by $U_n$ under complex multiplication.

Then $\struct {U_n, \times}$ is the multiplicative group of complex $n$th roots of unity.

Also denoted as
Some sources denote this group as $K_n$.
