On the non-idealness of cyclotomic families of pairing-friendly elliptic curves

Let k=2mpn$k=2^mp^n$ for an odd prime p and integers m ≥ 0 and n ≥ 0. We obtain lower bounds for the ρ-values of cyclotomic families of pairing-friendly elliptic curves with embedding degree k and r(x)=Φk(x)$r(x)=\Phi _k(x)$. Our bounds imply that none of the families are ideal.
