Erdős problem 974

Let z1,…,zn∈Cz_1,\ldots,z_n\in \mathbb{C} be a sequence such that z1=1z_1=1. Suppose that the sequence of sk=∑1≤i≤nziks_k=\sum_{1\leq i\leq n}z_i^k contains infinitely many (n−1)(n-1)-tuples of consecutive values of sks_k which are all 00. Then (essentially) zj=e(j/n),z_j=e(j/n), where e(x)=e2πixe(x)=e^{2\pi ix}.
