Roots of unity in a local ring and its residue field #
Reduction modulo the maximal ideal maps the roots of unity of a local ring to those of its residue field. This map is injective when the order is invertible in the ring.

TauCeti.rootsOfUnityResidue: the reduction homomorphism on roots of unity.TauCeti.rootsOfUnityResidue_injective: reduction is injective on roots of unity of invertible order.TauCeti.eq_of_residue_eq_of_pow_eq_one,IsPrimitiveRoot.map_residue: the same statement for elements of the ring, and its consequence that reduction preserves primitive roots of unity of invertible order.TauCeti.aeval_minpoly_eq_zero_of_aeval_residue_eq_zero: a root of unity of invertible order whose residue is a root of the minimal polynomial of an integral root of unity is itself a root of that minimal polynomial.
Reduction modulo the maximal ideal, as a homomorphism between the groups of n-th roots of
unity of a local ring and of its residue field.

The value of the reduction homomorphism on roots of unity.
Distinct roots of unity of invertible order have distinct reductions.
Two n-th roots of unity with the same residue are equal, when n is invertible.
Let A be an integrally closed domain, let ζ be an n-th root of unity of a domain S
over A such that ζ is integral over A, and let R be a local domain over A in which n is
invertible. An n-th root of unity ξ of R whose residue is a root of the minimal polynomial of
ζ over A is itself a root of that minimal polynomial.
Reduction preserves primitive roots of unity of invertible order.
