Problem

Let $\omega\neq 1$ be a 13th root of unity. Find the remainder when $\prod_{k=0}^{12}(2-2\omega^k+\omega^{2k})$ is divided by 1000.

Solution 1

$\prod_{k=0}^{12} \left(2- 2\omega^k + \omega^{2k}\right) = \prod_{k=0}^{12} \left((1 - \omega^k)^2 + 1\right) = \prod_{k=0}^{12} \left((1 + i) - \omega^k)((1 - i) - \omega^k\right)$

Now, we consider the polynomial $x^{13} - 1$ whose roots are the 13th roots of unity. Taking our rewritten product from $0$ to $12$ , we see that both instances of $\omega^k$ cycle through each of the 13th roots. Then, our answer is:

$((1 + i)^{13} - 1)(1 - i)^{13} - 1)$

$= (-64(1 + i) - 1)(-64(1 - i) - 1)$

$= (65 + 64i)(65 - 64i)$

$= 65^2 + 64^2$

$= 8\boxed{\textbf{321}}$

Solution 2

To find $\prod_{k=0}^{12} (2 - 2w^k + w^{2k})$ , where $w\neq1$ and $w^{13}=1$ , rewrite this is as

$(r-w)(s-w)(r-w^2)(s-w^2)...(r-w^{12})(s-w^{12})$ where $r$ and $s$ are the roots of the quadratic $x^2-2x+2=0$ .

Grouping the $r$ 's and $s$ 's results in $\frac{r^{13}-1}{r-1} \cdot\frac{s^{13}-1}{s-1}$

the denomiator $(r-1)(s-1)=1$ by vietas.

the numerator $(rs)^{13} - (r^{13} + s^{13}) + 1 = 2^{13} - (-128) + 1= 8321$ by newtons sums

so the answer is $\boxed{321}$

Solution 3

Denote $r_j = e^{\frac{i 2 \pi j}{13}}$ for $j \in \left\{ 0, 1, \cdots , 12 \right\}$ .

Thus, for $\omega \neq 1$ , $\left( \omega^0, \omega^1, \cdots, \omega^{12} \right)$ is a permutation of $\left( r_0, r_1, \cdots, r_{12} \right)$ .

We have \begin{align*}\ \Pi_{k = 0}^{12} \left( 2 - 2 \omega^k + \omega^{2k} \right) & = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( 1 + i - \omega^k \right) \left( 1 - i - \omega^k \right) \\ & = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - \omega^k \right) \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - \omega^k \right) \\ & = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \\ & = \left( \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \right) \left( \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - r_k \right) \right) . \hspace{1cm} (1) \end{align*} The third equality follows from the above permutation property.

Note that $r_0, r_1, \cdots , r_{12}$ are all zeros of the polynomial $z^{13} - 1$ . Thus, $z^{13} - 1 = \Pi_{k=0}^{12} \left( z - r_k \right) .$

Plugging this into Equation (1), we get \begin{align*} (1) & = \left( \left( \sqrt{2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} \right)^{13} - 1 \right) \left( \left( \sqrt{2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} \right)^{13} - 1 \right) \\ & = \left( - 2^{13/2} e^{i \frac{\pi}{4}} - 1 \right) \left( - 2^{13/2} e^{-i \frac{\pi}{4}} - 1 \right) \\ & = 2^{13} + 1 + 2^{13/2} \cdot 2 \cos \frac{\pi}{4} \\ & = 2^{13} + 1 + 2^7 \\ & = 8321 . \end{align*}

Therefore, the answer is \boxed{\textbf{(321) }}.
