Another question I just thought about was: Do we want: 1. every element in the universal cyclotomic field living in exactly one cyclotomic field QQ( \zeta_n ) generated by ZumbroichBasis(n,1) for some n, or 2. can an element have several monomials living in different cyclotomic fields.
In gap, it is the first (as there is no universal cyclotomic field but only smart back and forth going within several CFs: e.g., gap> E(8)^2; E(4) gap> E(8)+E(8)^2: E(8)+E(8)^2 whereas in a not redundant basis expression in the universal cyclotomic field, the second would answer E(8) + E(4). I personally would prefer the first, as I think is quite annoying if one has longer expressions with different E(n)'s involved. What do you think?
