Let $K$ be a number field. It is well known that the set of recurrencesequences with entries in $K$ is closed under component-wise operations, and so it can be equipped with a ring structure. We try to understand the structure of this ring, in particular to understand which algebraic equations have a solution in the ring. For the case of cyclic equations a conjecture due to Pisot states the following: assume $\left\{a_n\right\}$ is a recurrence sequence and suppose that all the $a_n$ have a $d^{\mathrm{th}}$ root in the field $K$; then (after...
