TITLE: Something interesting about the quintic $x^5 + x^4 - 4 x^3 - 3 x^2 + 3 x + 1=0$ and its cousins
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: (Update):
Courtesy of Myerson's and Elkies' answers, we find a second simple cyclic quintic for $\cos\frac{\pi}{p}$ with $p=10m+1$ as,
$$F(z)=z^5 - 10 p z^3 + 20 n^2 p z^2 - 5 p (3 n^4 - 25 n^2 - 625) z + 4 n^2 p(n^4 - 25 n^2 - 125)=0$$
where $p=n^4 + 25 n^2 + 125$. Its discriminant is
$$D=2^{12}5^{20}(n^2+7)^2n^4(n^4 + 25 n^2 + 125)^4$$
Finding a simple parametric cyclic quintic was one of the aims of this post.

(Original post):
We have
$$x^5 + x^4 - 4 x^3 - 3 x^2 + 3 x + 1=0,\quad\quad x =\sum_{k=1}^{2}\,\exp\Bigl(\tfrac{2\pi\, i\, 10^k}{11}\Bigr)$$
and so on for prime $p=10m+1$. Let $A$ be this class of quintics with $x =\sum_{k=1}^{2m}\,\exp\Bigl(\tfrac{2\pi\, i\, n^k}{p}\Bigr).$ I was trying to find a pattern to the coefficients of this infinite family, perhaps something similar to the Diophantine equation $u^2+27v^2=4N$ for the cubic case.
First, we can depress these (get rid of the $x^{n-1}$ term ) by letting $x=\frac{y-1}{5}$ to get the form,
$$y^5+ay^3+by^2+cy+d=0$$
Call the depressed form of $A$ as $B$.

Questions: 


Is it true that for $B$, there is always an ordering of its roots such that$$\small y_1 y_2 + y_2 y_3 + y_3 y_4 + y_4 y_5 + y_5 y_1 - (y_1 y_3 + y_3 y_5 + y_5 y_2 + y_2 y_4 + y_4 y_1) = 0$$
Do its coefficients $a,b,c,d$ always obey the Diophantine relations,
$$a^3 + 10 b^2 - 20 a c= 2z_1^2$$ $$5 (a^2 - 4 c)^2 + 32 a b^2 = z_2^2$$ $$(a^3 + 10 b^2 - 20 a c)\,\big(5 (a^2 - 4 c)^2 + 32 a b^2\big) = 2z_1^2z_2^2 = 2(a^2 b + 20 b c - 100 a d)^2$$ for integer $z_i$?

I tested the first forty such quintics and they answer the two questions in the affirmative. But is it true for all prime $p=10m+1$?

REPLY [3 votes]: Question 1: Yes; in fact
$$
\sum_{n\bmod 5} y_n y_{n+1} = \! \sum_{n\bmod 5} y_n y_{n+2} = -p/5
$$
for the "depressed" $y_n$, using an order consistent with the
action of the cyclic Galois group.  Likewise "for other values of 5".
This follows from the formula $|\tau|^2 = p$ for the absolute value of
a nontrivial Gauss sum $\tau$, together with the observation that
the quintic Gauss sums are the values at $m \neq 0$ of 
the discrete Fourier transform $\hat y$ of $\vec y$:
$$
\tau_m = \sum_{n \bmod 5} e^{2\pi i mn/5} y_n
$$
(and $\tau_0 = 0$ thanks to the "depression").  Now the $y_n$ are real,
so $\bar\tau$ is the Fourier transform of the map $n \mapsto y_{-n}$;
thus the autocorrelation function
$$
c_j = \sum_{n \bmod 5} y_n y_{n+j}
$$
is the convolution of $\vec y$ with $n \mapsto y_{-n}$,
whence the Fourier transform $\hat c$ is $\tau \bar \tau = |\tau|^2$.
But that's $0$ at $m=0$, and $p$ otherwise; therefore $c_0 = 4p/5$
and $c_j = -p/5$ for other $j$.  In particular $c_1 = c_2$, QED.
P.S. I was using $x = y - \frac15$, not your $x = \frac{y-1}{5}$,
so most formulas above will have to be scaled by suitable powers of $5$
to apply to your $y$'s.
