We show that for any positive integer $h$, either $h$ or $h+1$ is a height of some cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, where $n$ is a product of three distinct primes.

Given any positive integer $n,$ let $A(n)$ denote the height of the $n^{\text{th}}$ cyclotomic polynomial, that is its maximum coefficient in absolute value. It is well known that $A(n)$ is unbounded. We conjecture that every natural number…

Let $N=p_1p_2... p_n$ be a product of $n$ distinct primes. Define $P_N(x)$ to be the polynomial $(1-x^N)\prod_{1\leq i<j\leq n}(1-x^{N/(p_ip_j)})/\prod_{i=1}^n (1-x^{N/p_i})$. (When $n=2$, $P_{pq}(x)$ is the $pq$-th cyclotomic polynomial,…

The largest coefficient (in absolute value) of a cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$ is called its height $A(n)$. In case $p$ is a fixed prime it turns out that as $q$ and $r$ range over all primes satisfying $p<q<r$, the height $A(pqr)$ assumes…

The height of a polynomial with integer coefficients is the largest coefficient in absolute value. Many papers have been written on the subject of bounding heights of cyclotomic polynomials. One result, due to H. Maier, gives a best…

A ternary inclusion-exclusion polynomial is a polynomial of the form \[ Q_{{p,q,r}}=\frac{(z^{pqr}-1)(z^p-1)(z^q-1)(z^r-1)} {(z^{pq}-1)(z^{qr}-1)(z^{rp}-1)(z-1)}, \] where $p$, $q$, and $r$ are integers $\ge3$ and relatively prime in pairs.…

Let $A_n$ denote the height of cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$, where $n$ is a product of $k$ distinct odd primes. We prove that $A_n \le \epsilon_k\phi(n)^{k^{-1}2^{k-1}-1}$ with $-\log\epsilon_k\sim c2^k$, $c>0$. The same statement is true…

For odd prime numbers $p < q$, let $\Phi_{pq} \in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be the binary cyclotomic polynomial of order $pq$. In this paper, we prove that the second gap of $\Phi_{pq}$ is the maximum of $r-1$ and $p-r-1$, where $r$ is the remainder…

We prove that for every $\varepsilon>0$ and a nonnegative integer $\omega$ there exist primes $p_1,p_2,\ldots,p_\omega$ such that for $n=p_1p_2\ldots p_\omega$ the height of the cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_n$ is at least…

A cyclotomic polynomial \Phi_n(x) is said to be ternary if n=pqr with p,q and r distinct odd primes. Ternary cyclotomic polynomials are the simplest ones for which the behaviour of the coefficients is not completely understood. Here we…

We study a family of inverse ternary cyclotomic polynomials $\Psi_{pqr}$ in which $r\le\varphi(pq)$ is a positive linear combination of $p$ and $q$. We derive a formula for the height of such polynomial and characterize all flat polynomials…

We present a new bound on $A = \max_n |a_{pqr}(n)|$, where $a_{pqr}(n)$ are the coefficients of a ternary cyclotomic polynomial. We also prove that two consecutive coefficients of such a polynomial differ by at most one.

It is known that two consecutive coefficients of a ternary cyclotomic polynomial $\Phi_{pqr}(x)=\sum_k a_{pqr}(k)x^k$ differ by at most one. In this paper we give a criterion on $k$ to satisfy $|a_{pqr}(k)-a_{pqr}(k-1)|=1$. We use this to…
