Abstract

In this paper, for positive integers HH and knk \leq n, we obtain some estimates on the cardinality of the set of monic integer polynomials of degree nn and height bounded by HH with exactly kk roots of maximal modulus. These include lower and upper bounds in terms of HH for fixed kk and nn. We also count reducible and irreducible polynomials in that set separately. Our results imply, for instance, that the number of monic integer irreducible polynomials of degree nn and height at most HH whose all nn roots have equal moduli is approximately 2H2H for odd nn, while for even nn there are more than Hn/8H^{n/8} of such polynomials.
