Cyclotomic units are a special class of elements in the field of algebraic number theory, particularly within the context of cyclotomic fields. Cyclotomic fields are extensions of the rational numbers obtained by adjoining a primitive \\( n \\)-th root of unity, denoted as \\( \\zeta_n \\), to the rationals \\( \\mathbb\{Q\} \\).
