Quantum integers and cyclotomy
Abstract
A sequence of functions fn(q)n=1∞ satisfies the functional equation for multiplication of quantum integers if fmn(q) = fm(q)fn(qm) for all positive integers m and n. This paper describes the structure of all sequences of rational functions with rational coefficients that satisfy this functional equation.
