Let $n, m$ be two natural numbers and $Phi_n(q), Phi_m(q)$ the $n$-th and $m$-th cyclotomic polynomials respectively. Define a function $c_n,m colon mathbbN to left0,1rightcup left p mid p , textprimeright$ by
$$c_m,n =
begincases
0, , & textif $n = m$\
p, , & textif $fracnm = p^j$ where $p$ prime and $j in mathbbZsetminus 0$\
1, , & textif $fracnm$ is not an integer power of a prime
endcases$$
Show that $Phi_m(q) in sqrtleft( Phi_n(q)right) + (c_m,n)[q]$
This result should rely on properties of cyclotomic polynomials I am not aware of. Obviously if $c_n,m = 0$ the result is true since $n = m$ and $(c_n,m) = (0)$. If $c_n,m = 1$, then $(c_m,n) = (1) = mathbbZ$, and then it is true that $Phi_m(q) in sqrtleft( Phi_n(q)right) +mathbbZ[q]$, correct?
Any answer or any reference to literature where this results or proven would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Your notation is really unclear. Using the $in$ symbol seems to indicate that you intend $sqrtleft( Phi_n(q)right) + (c_m,n)[q]$ to denote a set; what is the exact definition of this set?

@GregMartin The notation $sqrt(Phi_n(q))+ (c_m,n)[q]$ means the radical of $(Phi_n(q))+ (c_m,n)[q]$. I hope it is clear now.

As you write, the statement in case $c_m,n = 1$ is immediate because clearly $Phi_m(x) in mathbbZ[x] = mathbbZ[x] + (Phi_n(x)) = sqrtmathbbZ[x] + (Phi_n(x))$. Since this is true for all $m,n$, the statement in this case is also not meaningful.
If $n = m p^i$ so that $c_m,n = p$, then we have $Phi_n(x) = Phi_m(x^p^i)$ (elementary property of cyclotomic polynomials).
Therefore it suffices to prove that $$Phi_m(x)^p^i equiv Phi_m(x^p^i) mod p$$
But in fact this statement is more generally true of any polynomials over $mathbbZ/pmathbbZ$. It can be seen as an elaboration of the so-called "Freshman's Dream," that $(x+y)^p equiv x^p + y^p mod p$. I also found a reference here as lemma 4.3. The first property I mentioned is theorem 3.2 there.
Thank you! The case where $c_m,n = 1$ is okay as I wrote on the question?

Thank you, I've accepted your answer. And yes, though maybe not this part itself. I am trying to understand a paper about cyclotomic completions and this "obvious" result (as wrote by the author) wasn't so obvious to me at first...

Your notation is really unclear. Using the $in$ symbol seems to indicate that you intend $sqrtleft( Phi_n(q)right) + (c_m,n)[q]$ to denote a set; what is the exact definition of this set?
