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…
The purpose of this note is to give a short and elementary proof of the fact, that the absolute logarithmic Weil-height is bounded from below by a positive constant for all totally p-adic numbers which are neither zero nor a root of unity.…
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…
A complete p-adic Khintchine type theorem for approximation by p-adic algebraic numbers is established.
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 count algebraic points of bounded height and degree on the graphs of certain functions analytic on the unit disk, obtaining a bound which is polynomial in the degree and in the logarithm of the multiplicative height. We combine this work…
We consider the set of points in projective $n$-space that generate an extension of degree $e$ over given number field $k$, and deduce an asymptotic formula for the number of such points of absolute height at most $X$, as $X$ tends to…
We establish a locally uniform a priori bound on the dynamics of a rational function $f$ of degree $>1$ on the Berkovich projective line over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic that is complete with respect to a non-trivial…
we derive new, improved lower bounds for the block complexity of an irrational algebraic number and for the number of digit changes in the b-ary expansion of an irrational algebraic number. To this end, we apply a quantitative version of…
C.J. Smyth and later Flammang studied the spectrum of the Weil height in the field of all totally real numbers, establishing both lower and upper bounds for the limit infimum of the height of all totally real integers and determining…
A set of algebraic numbers has the Northcott property if each of its subsets of bounded Weil height is finite. Northcott's Theorem, which has many Diophantine applications, states that sets of bounded degree have the Northcott property.…
We introduce a new class of adelic heights on the projective line. We estimate their essential minimum and prove a result of equidistribution (at every place) for points of small height with estimates on the speed of convergence. To each…
We prove that the height of any algebraic computation tree for deciding membership in a semialgebraic set is bounded from below (up to a multiplicative constant) by the logarithm of m-th Betti number (with respect to singular homology) of…
Several recent papers construct auxiliary polynomials to bound the Weil height of certain classes of algebraic numbers from below. Following these techniques, the author gave a general method for introducing auxiliary polynomials to…
We consider heights of horizontal irreducible divisors on an arithmetic surface with respect to some hermitian line bundle. We obtain both lower and upper bounds for these heights. The results are different and sometimes stronger that those…
The paper is concerned with the mathematical theory and numerical approximation of systems of partial differential equations (pde) of hyperbolic, pseudo-parabolic type. Some mathematical properties of the initial-boundary-value problem…
