It is fundamental in number theory to calculate lower bounds for height functions. Grizzard studied lower bounds for the Weil height in a relative setting. Vidaux and Videla introduced the Northcott number for a set…

A set of algebraic numbers has the Northcott property if each of its subsets of bounded Weil height is finite. Northcott's Theorem, which has many Diophantine applications, states that sets of bounded degree have the Northcott property.…

Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be an algebraic extension of fields, and let $\alpha \not= 0$ be contained in an algebraic closure of $K$. If $\alpha$ can be approximated by roots of numbers in $K^{\times}$ with respect to the Weil height, we prove that…

We give a generalization of weighted Weil heights. These heights generalize both Weil's heights and Dobrowolski's height. We study Northcott numbers for our heights. Our results generalize the authors' former work on Vidaux and Videla's…

Let $\alpha$ be a complex number. We show that there is a finite subset $F$ of the ring of the rational integers $\mathbb{Z}$, such that $F\left[ \alpha\right] =\mathbb{Z}\left[ \alpha\right]$, if and only if $\alpha$ is an algebraic number…

Due to Narkiewicz a field $F$ has property (P) if for no polynomial $f\in F[x]$ of degree at least two there is an infinite $f$-invariant subset of $F$. We present a new example of an algebraic extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ satisfying (P). This…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over a number field $K$ which has at least one real embedding. The field $F$ generated by all torsion points of $E$ over $K$ is an infinite, non-abelian Galois extension of…

In this paper, for an elliptic curve $E$ defined over the algebraic numbers and for any subfield $F$ of algebraic numbers, we say that $E$ has the Northcott property over $F$ if there are at most finitely many $F$-rational points on $E$ of…

In this note we investigate the behaviour of the absolute logarithmic Weil-height h on extensions of the field $\mathbb{Q}^{tr}$ of totally real numbers. It is known that there is a gap between zero and the next smallest value of h on…

We give a formula with explicit error term for the number of $K$-rational points $P$ satisfying $H(f(P)) \le X$ as $X \to \infty$, where $f$ is a nonconstant morphism between projective spaces defined over a number field $K$ and $H$ is the…

If $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_r$ are algebraic numbers such that $$N=\sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i \ne \sum_{i=1}^r\alpha_i^{-1}$$ for some integer $N$, then a theorem of Beukers and Zagier gives the best possible lower bound on $$\sum_{i=1}^r\log…

The goal of this paper is to obtain lower bounds on the height of an algebraic number in a relative setting, extending previous work of Amoroso and Masser. Specifically, in our first theorem we obtain an effective bound for the height of an…

Let $K$ be a totally real number field, $d$ a positive integer, and $Q$ a higher degree form over $K$. We prove that there are at most finitely many totally real extensions $L/K$ of degree $d$ such that $Q$ over $L$ is universal. Further,…

We construct infinite Galois extensions $K$ of $\mathbb{Q}$ that satisfy the Northcott property on elements of small height, and where this property can be deduced solely from the splitting behavior of prime numbers in $K$. We also give…

Let $K$ be an algebraic number field and $H$ the absolute Weil height. Write $c_K$ for a certain positive constant that is an invariant of $K$. We consider the question: does $K$ contain an algebraic integer $\alpha$ such that both $K =…

C.J. Smyth and later Flammang studied the spectrum of the Weil height in the field of all totally real numbers, establishing both lower and upper bounds for the limit infimum of the height of all totally real integers and determining…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over the rationals without complex multiplication. The field $F$ generated by all torsion points of $E$ is an infinite, non-abelian Galois extension of the rationals which has unbounded, wild…

Recently, Widmer introduced a new sufficient criterion for the Northcott property on the finiteness of elements of bounded height in infinite algebraic extensions of number fields. We provide a simplification of Widmer's criterion when the…

We generalize the absolute logarithmic Weil height from elements of the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers modulo torsion, to finitely generated subgoups. The height of a finitely generated subgroup is shown to equal the volume of a…

A complex number $\alpha$ is said to satisfy the height reducing property if there is a finite set $F\subset \mathbb{Z}$ such that $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]=F[\alpha]$, where $\mathbb{Z}$ is the ring of the rational integers. It is easy to see…
