Abstract

For a region ΩC\Omega \subset\mathbb{C} denote by Ψ(Q;Ω)\Psi(Q;\Omega) the number of complex algebraic numbers in Ω\Omega of degree n\leq n and naive height Q\leq Q. We show that Ψ(Q;Ω)=Qn+12ζ(n+1)Ωψ(z)ν(dz)+O(Qn),Q, \Psi(Q;\Omega)=\frac{Q^{n+1}}{2\zeta(n+1)}\int_\Omega\psi(z)\,\nu(dz)+O\left(Q^n \right),\quad Q\to\infty, where ν\nu is the Lebesgue measure on the complex plane and the function ψ\psi will be given explicitly.
