[Dirichlet series](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirichlet_series#Formal_Dirichlet_series)

However, naively reaching for these fails for two reasons:
In other words, if $f_n$ is the new polynomial introduced by $p_n$, then denote its conditional factorization $g_n$. - We built our series of polynomials on a recurrence relation, and these series
are opaque to such manipulations.
- To do a proper Möbius inversion, we need these kinds of series over the *logarithm*
of each polynomial (*B* is a series over the polynomials themselves).
Ignoring these (and if you're in the mood for awful-looking math) you may note
the Lambert equivalence[^2]:

This equivalence applies to other polynomial series obeying the same factorization rule
such as the [cyclotomic polynomials](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotomic_polynomial).

without advanced techniques.

### Total Degrees
It can be also be observed that the new term is symmetric ($f(z) = f(-z)$), and is therefore
either irreducible or the product of polynomial and its reflection (potentially negated).
For example,
$$
p_9(z) = \left\{
\begin{matrix}
(z - 1)(z + 1)
& \cdot
& (z^3 - 3z - 1)(z^3 - 3z + 1)
\\
\shortparallel && \shortparallel
\\
f_3(z)
& \cdot
& f_9(z)
\\
\shortparallel && \shortparallel
\\
g_3(z) \cdot g_3(-z)
& \cdot
& g_9(z) \cdot -g_9(-z)
\end{matrix}
\right.
$$
These factor polynomials $g_n$ are the minimal polynomials of $2\cos( \pi / n )$.
Multiplying these minimal polynomials by their reflection can be observed in the Chebyshev polynomials
for $n = 3, 5, 7, 9$, strongly implying that it occurs on the odd terms.
Assuming this is true, we have
