Dear Alexander and Forum,
If the cyclotomic number is the square of a cyclotomic number, is there an easy
way to find it?
The number I need are the eigenvalues of the matrix of the unitarized inner
product of an irreducible representation of a finite group (see the comment of
Paul Garett here: http://math.stackexchange.com/q/1107941/84284). This matrix
is positive, I guess its eigenvalues are always cyclotomic (true for the
examples I've looked, but I don't know in general), and I hope they are square
of cyclotomic. Thanks to these square roots I can compute the unitary matrices
for the irreducible representation.
Remark: a function on GAP computing the unitary irreducible representations
seems very natural, so if there is not such a function, this should means that
there are problems for computing them in general with GAP, isn't it?
Best regards,Sebastien Palcoux

How would you represent this root? In general the square root of a cylotomic is
not cyclotomic again. (You could form a formal AlgebraicExtension, but then you
lose the irrational cyclotomics for operations.)
