Abstract

If $p$ is a prime number congruent to 1 modulo 3 , then we explicitly describe an element of the cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_3\right)$ whose third root generates the cubic subextension of $\mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_{3 p}\right) / \mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_3\right)$. Similarly, if $p$ is a prime number congruent to 1 modulo 4 , then we explicitly describe an element of the cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_4\right)$ whose fourth root generates the quartic cyclic subextension of $\mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_{4 p}\right) / \mathbb{Q}\left(\zeta_4\right)$. For further number fields, we express generators of Kummer extensions inside cyclotomic fields in terms of Gauss sums.
