Abstract

We show that for any natural number nn satisfying n4mod8n\equiv 4 \mod 8 and n≢0mod5n\not\equiv 0 \mod 5, and for any odd integer tn+62t\geq \frac{n+6}{2} there are infinitely many Salem numbers α{\alpha} of degree 2t2t such that αn1{\alpha}^n-1 is a unit. This result, obtained using a generalization of a construction due to Gross and McMullen [5], partially completes the main result of [7].
