Counting real algebraic numbers with bounded derivative of minimal polynomial
Abstract
In this paper we consider the problem of counting algebraic numbers of fixed degree and bounded height such that the derivative of the minimal polynomial of is bounded, . This problem has many applications to the problems of the metric theory of Diophantine approximation. We prove that the number of defined above on the interval doesn't exceed for and . Our result is based on an improvement to the lemma on the order of zero approximation by irreducible divisors of integer polynomials from A. Gelfond's monograph "Transcendental and algebraic numbers". The improvement provides a stronger estimate for the absolute value of the divisor in real points which are located far enough from all algebraic numbers of bounded degree and height and it's based on the representation of the resultant of two polynomials as the determinant of Sylvester matrix for the shifted polynomials. Keywords: Diophantine approximation, Hausdorff dimension, transcendental numbers, resultant, Sylvester matrix, irreducible divisor, Gelfond's lemma.
