We count algebraic numbers of fixed degree $d$ and fixed (absolute multiplicative Weil) height $\mathcal{H}$ with precisely $k$ conjugates that lie inside the open unit disk. We also count the number of values up to $\mathcal{H}$ that the…

We propose a definition of magnitude for a length space with a Borel measure, which involves integrals over the set of geodesics. This quantity agrees with the magnitude of finite metric spaces, up to re-scaling the metric to ensure the…

C.J. Smyth was among the first to study 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 famous theorem of Weyl states that if $M$ is a compact submanifold of euclidean space, then the volumes of small tubes about $M$ are given by a polynomial in the radius $r$, with coefficients that are expressible as integrals of certain…

We prove that the local height of a point on a Drinfeld module can be computed by averaging the logarithm of the distance to that point over the torsion points of the module. This gives rise to a Drinfeld module analog of a weak version of…

We discuss measures on spaces of unparametrized paths related to the Wiener measure. These measures arise naturally in the study of one-dimensional gravity coupled to scalar fields. Two kinds of discrete approximations are defined, the…

The minimal integral Mahler measure of a number field $K$, $M(\mathcal{O}_K)$, is the minimal Mahler measure of a non-torsion primitive element of $\mathcal{O}_K$. Upper and lower bounds, which depend on the discriminant, are known. We show…

Recently, Dubickas and Smyth constructed and examined the metric Mahler measure and the metric na\"ive height on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. We give a non-Archimedean version of the metric Mahler measure, denoted…

We introduce a new metric on the ideal space of an AF algebra that metrizes the Fell topology. The novelty of this metric lies in the use of a Hamming distance type metric in its construction. Furthermore, this metric captures more of the…

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 study the asymptotic growth of coefficients of Mahler power series with algebraic coefficients, as measured by their logarithmic Weil height. We show that there are five different growth behaviors, all of which being reached. Thus, there…

It is fundamental in number theory to calculate lower bounds for height functions. Grizzard studied lower bounds for the Weil height in a relative setting. Vidaux and Videla introduced the Northcott number for a set…

Suppose $m(\alpha)$ denotes the Mahler measure of the non-zero algebraic number $\alpha$. For each positive real number $t$, the author studied a version $m_t(\alpha)$ of the Mahler measure that has the triangle inequality. The construction…

We solve an energy minimization problem for local fields. As an application of these results, we improve on lower bounds set by Bombieri and Zannier for the limit infimum of the Weil height in fields of totally p-adic numbers and…

We study the Teichm\"uller metric on the Teichm\"uller space of a surface of finite type, in regions where the injectivity radius of the surface is small. The main result is that in such regions the Teichm\"uller metric is approximated up…

We study the asymptotic distribution of the Galois orbits of generic sequences of algebraic points of small height in a projective variety over a number field. Our main result is a generalization of Yuan's equidistribution theorem that…

H. Weyl in 1921 demonstrated that for a connected manifold of dimension greater than $1$, if two Riemannian metrics are conformal and have the same geodesics up to a reparametrization, then one metric is a constant scaling of the other one.…
