Cyclotomic fields are extensions of the rational numbers obtained by adjoining a primitive root of unity, which is a complex number of the form $e^{2\pi i/n}$ for some positive integer $n$. These fields play a crucial role in number theory and Galois theory, particularly in understanding the structure of their Galois groups and the fixed fields associated with these extensions.
