We characterize all algebraic numbers $\alpha$ of degree $d\in\{4,5,6,7\}$ for which there exist four distinct algebraic conjugates $\alpha_1$, $\alpha_2$, $\alpha_3$, $\alpha_4$ of $\alpha$ satisfying the relation…

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over a field $k$ of characteristic 0. We show that any two connected semisimple $k$-subgroups of $G$ that are conjugate over an algebraic closure of $k$ are actually conjugate over a finite field…

We give a complete classification of all Salem polynomials of length 5. For length 6 we show that all but finitely many Salem polynomials lie in one of 12 infinite families, and subject to Lehmer's Conjecture we give a complete list of the…

By extending a construction due to Gross and McMullen [2], we show that for any odd integer n and for any even integer d>n+2 there are infinitely many Salem numbers $\alpha$ of degree d such that $\alpha^n-1$ is a unit. A similar result is…

In this paper we study the problem of counting Salem numbers of fixed degree. Given a set of disjoint intervals $I_1,\ldots, I_{k}\subset \left[0;\pi\right]$, $1\leq k\leq m$ let $Sal_{m,k}(Q,I_1,\ldots,I_{k})$ denote the set of ordered…

We study linear divisibility sequences of order 4, providing a characterization by means of their characteristic polynomials and finding their factorization as a product of linear divisibility sequences of order 2. Moreover, we show a new…

The set of Salem numbers is proved to be bounded from below by $\theta_{31}^{-1}= 1.08544\ldots$ where $\theta_{n}$, $ n \geq 2$, is the unique root in $(0,1)$ of the trinomial $-1+x+x^n$. Lehmer's number $1.176280\ldots$ belongs to the…

We give a new short proof of the most simple relation between consecutive power sums of the first m positive integers.

It is well-known that the Pl\"ucker relations generate the ideal of relations of the maximal minors of a generic matrix. In this paper we discuss the relations between minors of a (non-maximal) fixed size. We will exhibit minimal relations…

We show that for any natural number $n$ satisfying $n\equiv 4 \mod 8$ and $n\not\equiv 0 \mod 5$, and for any odd integer $t\geq \frac{n+6}{2}$ there are infinitely many Salem numbers ${\alpha}$ of degree $2t$ such that ${\alpha}^n-1$ is a…

Cohen, Lewin and Zagier found four ladders that entail the polylogarithms ${\rm Li}_n(\alpha_1^{-k}):=\sum_{r>0}\alpha_1^{-k r}/r^n$ at order $n=16$, with indices $k\le360$, and $\alpha_1$ being the smallest known Salem number, i.e. the…

A standard tool for classifying the complexity of equivalence relations on $\omega$ is provided by computable reducibility. This reducibility gives rise to a rich degree structure. The paper studies equivalence relations, which induce…

The purpose of this paper is to consider when two maximal subalgebras of a finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebra $L$ are conjugate, and to investigate their intersection.

The relationship between Salem numbers and short geodesics has been fruitful in quantitative studies of arithmetic hyperbolic orbifolds, particularly in dimensions 2 and 3. In this article, we push these connections even further. The…

We present a counter-example to the statement that there is a linear reduction in both directionsbetween the largest common subtree and the smallest common supertrees. Moreover, we show that in general, even having of one of them, it is…

This paper proves the minimum size of a supersequence over a set of eight elements is 52. This disproves a conjecture that the lower bound of the supersequence is the partial sum of the geometric Connell sequence. By studying the internal…

Given a compact subset $\Sigma$ of the real numbers obeying some technical conditions, we consider the set of algebraic integers whose conjugates all lie in $\Sigma$. The distribution of conjugates of such an integer defines a probability…

We study the number of linear extensions of a partial order with a given proportion of comparable pairs of elements, and estimate the maximum and minimum possible numbers. We also consider a random interval partial order on $n$ elements,…

In this Master's thesis, we consider the problem of classifying, up to conjugation by linear symplectomorphisms, linear canonical relations (lagrangian correspondences) from a finite-dimensional symplectic vector space to itself. We give an…

A certain number of lists of small Salem numbers, some of which are certified as complete, are available online. Notably, the website of M. J. Mossinghoff features a list of 47 Salem numbers smaller than 1.3, as well as complete lists of…
