Abstract

Let AOKA \subseteq \mathcal{O}_{K} be a set of algebraic integers of height up to HH such that AmodpαOK/p|A \mod{\mathfrak{p}}|\leq \alpha |\mathcal{O}_{K}/\mathfrak{p}| for every prime ideal p\mathfrak{p} with Np>cN\mathfrak{p}>c for some α(0,1)\alpha \in (0,1). It follows from a larger sieve due to Ellenberg, Elsholtz, Hall and Kowalski that AK,c,αH2α|A| \ll_{K,c,\alpha}H^{2\alpha}. In this paper, we improve on this larger sieve bound by showing that AK,c,αHα(logH)r|A|\ll_{K,c,\alpha}H^{\alpha}(\log H)^r. We also obtain a two-dimensional larger sieve of Helfgott and Venkatesh type over OK×OK\mathcal{O}_{K} \times \mathcal{O}_{K} and apply it to produce a Bombieri-Pila type bound over OK\mathcal{O}_{K}.
