Popis: We show that the Schur polynomials in all primitive $n$th roots of unity are $1$, $0$, or $-1$, if $n$ has at most two distinct odd prime factors. This result can be regarded as a generalization of properties of the coefficients of the cyclotomic polynomial and its multiplicative inverse. The key to the proof is the notion of a unimodular system of vectors. Namely, this result is reduced in turn to four propositions on the unimodularity of vector systems, and the last proposition is proved by using graph theory.
