Abstract.
This paper is devoted to finding solutions of polynomial equations
in roots of unity. It was conjectured by S. Lang and proved by M.
Laurent that all such solutions can be described in terms of a
finite number of parametric families called maximal torsion
cosets. We obtain new explicit upper bounds for the number of
maximal torsion cosets on an algebraic subvariety of the complex algebraic 
-torus 
. In contrast to earlier work that gives the bounds of polynomial growth in
the maximum total degree of defining polynomials, the proofs of our results are constructive. This allows us to obtain a new algorithm for determining maximal torsion cosets on an algebraic subvariety of 
.
Keywords: Torsion cosets; roots of unity
