The aim of this paper is to survey and extend results concerning bounds of the Euclidean minima of abelian number fields. In particular, we give upper bounds for the Euclidean minima of abelian number fields of prime power conductor.

Let $K$ be a number field of degree $d$. Then every ideal $I$ in the ring of integers ${\mathcal O}_K$ contains infinitely many primitive elements, i.e. elements of degree $d$. A bound on smallest height of such an element in $I$ follows…

In this paper, we use some of our previous results to improve an upper bound of Bayer-Fluckiger, Borello and Jossen on the Euclidean minima of algebraic number fields. Our bound depends on the degree $n$ of the field, its signature,…

In the following paper a version of the classical Mahler formula is found. The height and the measure are now relative to a self-map on a projective space of arbitrary dimension.

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…

Recent work of Pritsker defines and studies an areal version of the Mahler measure. We further explore this function with a particular focus on the case where its value is small, as this is most relevant to Lehmer's conjecture. In this…

If $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r$ are algebraic numbers such that $$N=\sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i \ne \sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i^{-1}$$ for some integer $N$, then a theorem of Beukers and Zagier gives the best possible lower bound on $$\sum_{i=1}^r\log…

We improve Mahler's lower bound for the Mahler measure in terms of the discriminant and degree for a specific class of polynomials: complex monic polynomials of degree $d\geq 2$ such that all roots with modulus greater than some fixed value…

We present an upper bound for the height of the mixed sparse resultant, defined as the logarithm of the maximum modulus of its coefficients. We obtain a similar estimate for its Mahler measure.
