I have been working for quite a while on finding closed, simple expressions for primitive roots of unity, that is finding solutions of cyclotomic polynomials by radical expressions in the case of constructible regular polygons.
The long-term goal is to find solutions for the 5th, 17th, 257th, and 65537th root of unity. This is an onging project.
