We consider upper and lower bounds on the minimal height of an irrational number lying in a particular real quadratic field.

For an algebraic number $\alpha$, the metric Mahler measure $m_1(\alpha)$ was first studied by Dubickas and Smyth in 2001 and was later generalized to the $t$-metric Mahler measure $m_t(\alpha)$ by the author in 2010. The definition of…

The Euclidean minimum $M(K)$ of a number field $K$ is an important numerical invariant that indicates whether $K$ is norm-Euclidean. When $K$ is a non-CM field of unit rank 2 or higher, Cerri showed $M(K)$, as the supremum in the Euclidean…

Given a fixed number field K, we give non-trivial lower bounds for the distance between the conjugates of any number a from K in terms of the Mahler measure M(a) of a. In the case that K is a cubic field, our bound is best possible in terms…

Dubickas and Smyth defined the metric Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of non-zero algebraic numbers. The definition involves taking an infimum over representations of an algebraic number $\alpha$ by other algebraic numbers. We…

In this note we present algorithms for computing Euclidean minima of cubic number fields; in particular, we were able to find all norm-Euclidean cubic number fields with discriminants -999 < d < 10000.

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of $n$-dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup $SO(K)=\{ g \in SO(n); g(K)=K \}$, where $K$ is an $n$-cube or $n$-simplex. This provides new partial results…

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…

A. Dubickas and C. Smyth introduced the metric Mahler measure $$ M_1(\alpha) = \inf\left\{\sum_{n=1}^N M(\alpha_n): N \in \mathbb N, \alpha_1 \cdots \alpha_N = \alpha\right\}, $$ where $M(\alpha)$ denotes the usual (logarithmic) Mahler…

We consider the problem of computing the minimum value $f_{\min,K}$ of a polynomial $f$ over a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, which can be reformulated as finding a probability measure $\nu$ on $K$ minimizing $\int_K f d\nu$.…

We prove a new lower bound for the Mahler measure of a polynomial in one and in several variables that depends on the complex coefficients, and the number of monomials. In one variable our result generalizes a classical inequality of…

We focus on the analysis of local minimizers of the Mahler volume, that is to say the local solutions to the problem $$\min\{ M(K):=|K||K^\circ|\;/\;K\subset\R^d\textrm{ open and convex}, K=-K\}, $$ where $K^\circ:=\{\xi\in\R^d ; \forall…

We show that if $K$ is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over $K$. In particular, we extend…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under a discrete subgroup of $O(3)$ in several cases. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product in each…

We give the sharp lower bound of the volume product of three dimensional convex bodies which are invariant under two kinds of discrete subgroups of $O(3)$ of order four. We also characterize the convex bodies with the minimal volume product…

Let $M(\alpha)$ denote the Mahler measure of the algebraic number $\alpha$. In a recent paper, Dubickas and Smyth constructed a metric version of the Mahler measure on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. Later, Fili and the…

We establish an explicit upper bound for the Euclidean minimum of a number field which depends, in a precise manner, only on its discriminant and the number of real and complex embeddings. Such bounds were shown to exist by Davenport and…

A universal lower bound for the first positive eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact quaternionic Kaehler manifold M of positive scalar curvature is calculated. It is shown that it is equal to the first positive eigenvalue on the…

We prove the non-symmetric Mahler conjecture in dimension three. More precisely, we prove the sharp lower bound \[ \mathcal P(K) \geq \frac{64}{9} \] for every convex body $K \subset \mathbb R^3$, where $\mathcal P(K)$ denotes the…

We introduce a non real-valued measure on the definable sets contained in the finite part of a cartesian power of an o-minimal field $R$. The measure takes values in an ordered semiring, the Dedekind completion of a quotient of $R$. We show…
