Galois group of cyclotomic extensions #
In this file, we show the relationship between the Galois group of K(ζₙ) and (ZMod n)ˣ;
it is always a subgroup, and if the nth cyclotomic polynomial is irreducible, they are isomorphic.

TODO #
- We currently can get away with the fact that the power of a primitive root is a primitive root,
but the correct long-term solution for computing other explicit Galois groups is creating
PowerBasis.map_conjugate; but figuring out the exact correct assumptions + proof for this is mathematically nontrivial. (Current thoughts: the correct condition is that the annihilating ideal of both elements is equal. This may not hold in an ID, and definitely holds in an ICD.)
IsPrimitiveRoot.autToPow is injective in the case that it's considered over a cyclotomic
field extension.
Cyclotomic extensions are abelian.
