Abstract

A classical result of Fekete gives necessary conditions on a compact set in the complex plane so that it contains infinitely many sets of conjugate algebraic integers. For such sets, we demonstrate the existence of a sequence of algebraic integers such that most of their conjugates eventually lie near the set, while maintaining a bound on heights. Finally, we examine properties satisfied by the limiting distribution of a sequence of algebraic numbers.
