Computing points of bounded height in projective space over a number field

Abstract

We construct an algorithm for solving the following problem: given a number field KK, a positive integer NN, and a positive real number BB, determine all points in PN(K)\mathbb P^N(K) having relative height at most BB. A theoretical analysis of the efficiency of the algorithm is provided, as well as sample computations showing how the algorithm performs in practice. Two variants of the method are described, and examples are given to compare their running times. In the case N=1N=1 we compare our method to an earlier algorithm for enumerating elements of bounded height in number fields.
