We find sharp upper and lower bounds for the degree of an algebraic number in terms of the $Q$-dimension of the space spanned by its conjugates. For all but seven nonnegative integers $n$ the largest degree of an algebraic number whose…
For a non-zero algebraic number $\alpha$ of degree $d$, let $h(\alpha)$ denote its logarithmic Weil height. It is known that when $h(\alpha)$ is small, and $d$ is large, the conjugates of $\alpha$ are clustered near the unit circle and have…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective absolutely irreducible curve of genus at least 2, defined over the rationals. For a number field $L$, we define the set of $L$-new points on $C$ to be $C(L)_{new} = \{P \in C(L) : \mathbb{Q}(P)=L\}$; this is…
Littlewood polynomials are polynomials with each of their coefficients in $\{-1,1\}$. A sequence of Littlewood polynomials that satisfies a remarkable flatness property on the unit circle of the complex plane is given by the Rudin-Shapiro…
