Let $\zeta_K(s)$ denote the Dedekind zeta-function associated to a number field $K$. In this paper, we give an effective upper bound for the height of first non-trivial zero other than $1/2$ of $\zeta_K(s)$ under the generalized Riemann…

In this paper, we establish lower bounds on Weil height of algebraic integers in terms of the low lying zeros of the Dedekind zeta-function. As a result, we prove Lehmer's conjecture for certain infinite non-Galois extensions conditional on…

We study universal quadratic forms over totally real number fields using Dedekind zeta functions. In particular, we prove an explicit upper bound for the rank of universal quadratic forms over a given number field $K$, under the assumption…

This is a revised version of ANT-0045. If K is a number field of degree n with discriminant D, if K=Q(a) then H(a)>c(n)|D|^(1/(2n-2)) where H(a) is the height of the minimal polynomial of a. We ask if one can always find a generator a of K…

Let $K/k$ be a finite extension of a global field. Such an extension can be generated over $k$ by a single element. The aim of this article is to prove the existence of a "small" generator in the function field case. This answers the…

In 1977, Lenstra provided a criterion for norm-Euclideanity of number fields and noted that this criterion becomes ineffective for number fields of large enough degrees under the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) for the Dedekind…

Assuming GRH, we prove an explicit upper bound for the number of zeros of a Dedekind zeta function having imaginary part in $[T-a,T+a]$. We also prove a bound for the multiplicity of the zeros.

Given a number field $K$ of degree $n_K$ and with absolute discriminant $d_K$, we obtain an explicit bound for the number $N_K(T)$ of non-trivial zeros (counted with multiplicity), with height at most $T$, of the Dedekind zeta function…

Let $\psi_\K$ be the Chebyshev function of a number field $\K$. Under GRH we prove an explicit upper bound for $|\psi_\K(x)-x|$ in terms of the degree and the discriminant of $\K$. The new bound improves significantly on previous known…

For a number field $K$, the Euler-Kronecker constant $\gamma_K$ associated to $K$ is an arithmetic invariant the size and nature of which is linked to some of the deepest questions in number theory. This theme was given impetus by Ihara who…

We show that for each abelian number field $K$ of sufficiently large degree $d$ there exists an element $\alpha\in K$ with $K=\IQ(\alpha)$ and absolute Weil height $H(\alpha)\ll_d |\Delta_K|^{1/2d}$ , where $\Delta_K$ denotes the…

We give a conditional lower bound on the number of non-trivial simple zeros for the Dedekind zeta function $\zeta_{K}(s)$, where $K$ is a quadratic number field. The conditional result is given by assuming a Lindel\"of on average (in the…

Let $S$ be a polynomial ring over any field $\Bbbk$, and let $P \subseteq S$ be a non-degenerate homogeneous prime ideal of height $h$. When $\Bbbk$ is algebraically closed, a classical result attributed to Castelnuovo establishes an upper…

The goal of this paper is to obtain lower bounds on the height of an algebraic number in a relative setting, extending previous work of Amoroso and Masser. Specifically, in our first theorem we obtain an effective bound for the height of an…

We obtain tight bounds for the minimal number of generators of an ideal with bounded-degree generators in a polynomial ring $K[X_1,\dots,X_n],$ as well as a sharp quantification of the maximum possible size of a minimal generating set of…

Let $L/K$ be a Galois extension of number fields. We prove two lower bounds on the maximum of the degrees of the irreducible complex representations of ${\rm Gal}(L/K)$, the sharper of which is conditional on the Artin Conjecture and the…

Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$ so that $K/\mathbb Q$ is a Galois extension. The {\it normal basis theorem} states that $K$ has a $\mathbb Q$-basis consisting of algebraic conjugates, in fact $K$ contains infinitely many such bases.…

In a family of $S_{d+1}$-fields ($d=2,3,4$), we obtain the true upper and lower bound of the residues of Dedekind zeta functions except for a density zero set. For $S_5$-fields, we need to assume the strong Artin conjecture. We also show…

Let $d$ be a square-free positive integer and $h(d)$ the class number of the real quadratic field $\mathbb{Q}{(\sqrt{d})}.$ In this paper we give an explicit lower bound for $h(n^2+r)$, where $r=1,4$, and also establish an equivalent…

For any number field k, upper bounds are established for the number of k-rational points of bounded height on non-singular del Pezzo surfaces defined over k, which are equipped with suitable conic bundle structures over k.
