Distribution of real algebraic integers

Abstract

In the paper, we study the asymptotic distribution of real algebraic integers of fixed degree as their naive height tends to infinity. Let IRI \subset \mathbb{R} be an arbitrary bounded interval, and QQ be a sufficiently large number. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the count of algebraic integers α\alpha of fixed degree nn and naive height H(α)QH(\alpha)\le Q lying in II. In this formula, we estimate the order of the error term from above and below. We show that algebraic integers of degree nn are distributed asymptotically like algebraic numbers of degree (n1)(n-1) as the upper bound QQ of heights tends to infinity.
