Abstract

Let AnA_n denote the height of cyclotomic polynomial Φn\Phi_n, where nn is a product of kk distinct odd primes. We prove that Anϵkϕ(n)k12k11A_n \le \epsilon_k\phi(n)^{k^{-1}2^{k-1}-1} with logϵkc2k-\log\epsilon_k\sim c2^k, c>0c>0. The same statement is true for the height CnC_n of the inverse cyclotomic polynomial Ψn\Psi_n. Additionally, we improve on a bound of Kaplan for the maximal height of divisors of xn1x^n-1, denoted by BnB_n. We show that Bn<ηkn(3k1)/(2k)1B_n<\eta_k n^{(3^k-1)/(2k)-1}, with logηkc3k-\log \eta_k \sim c3^k and the same cc.
