We set $M_n = \left(\begin{array}{ccccc} 0 & 1 & 0 & \cdots & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \ddots & \ddots & \vdots \\ \vdots & & \ddots & \ddots & 0 \\ 0 & & & \ddots & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & \cdots & \cdots & 0 \end{array}\right)$ and $\omega_n = \mathrm{e}^{2i\pi/n}$.
Justify that $M_n$ is diagonalizable. Specify its eigenvalues (expressed using $\omega_n$) and give a basis of eigenvectors of $M_n$.
