A Bogomolov property for curves modulo algebraic subgroups

Philipp Habegger (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Generalizing a result of Bombieri, Masser, and Zannier we show that on a curve in the algebraic torus which is not contained in any proper coset only finitely many points are close to an algebraic subgroup of codimension at least $2$ . The notion of close is defined using the Weil height. We also deduce some cardinality bounds and further finiteness statements.

The Lehmer constants of an annulus

Artūras Dubickas, Chris J. Smyth (2001)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $M (α)$ be the Mahler measure of an algebraic number $α$ , and $V$ be an open subset of $ℂ$ . Then its $L (V)$ is inf $M {(α)}^{1 / deg (α)}$ , the infimum being over all non-zero non-cyclotomic $α$ lying with its conjugates outside $V$ . We evaluate $L (V)$ when $V$ is any annulus centered at $0$ . We do the same for a variant of $L (V)$ , which we call the transfinite Lehmer constant $L_{\infty} (V)$ .Also, we prove the converse to Langevin’s Theorem, which states that $L (V) > 1$ if $V$ contains a point of modulus $1$ . We prove the corresponding result for...

The R₂ measure for totally positive algebraic integers

V. Flammang (2016)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let α be a totally positive algebraic integer of degree d, i.e., all of its conjugates $α ₁ = α, . . ., α_{d}$ are positive real numbers. We study the set ₂ of the quantities ${(\prod_{i = 1}^{d} {(1 + α ²_{i})}^{1 / 2})}^{1 / d}$ . We first show that √2 is the smallest point of ₂. Then, we prove that there exists a number l such that ₂ is dense in (l,∞). Finally, using the method of auxiliary functions, we find the six smallest points of ₂ in (√2,l). The polynomials involved in the auxiliary function are found by a recursive algorithm.

The cubics which are differences of two conjugates of an algebraic integer

Toufik Zaimi (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

We show that a cubic algebraic integer over a number field $K,$ with zero trace is a difference of two conjugates over $K$ of an algebraic integer. We also prove that if $N$ is a normal cubic extension of the field of rational numbers, then every integer of $N$ with zero trace is a difference of two conjugates of an integer of $N$ if and only if the $3 -$ adic valuation of the discriminant of $N$ is not $4 .$

Cycles on algebraic models of smooth manifolds

Wojciech Kucharz (2009)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Every compact smooth manifold $M$ is diffeomorphic to a nonsingular real algebraic set, called an algebraic model of $M$ . We study modulo 2 homology classes represented by algebraic subsets of $X$ , as $X$ runs through the class of all algebraic models of $M$ . Our main result concerns the case where $M$ is a spin manifold.

Distribution of nodes on algebraic curves in $ℂ^{N}$

Thomas Bloom, Norman Levenberg (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Given an irreducible algebraic curves $A$ in $ℂ^{N}$ , let $m_{d}$ be the dimension of the complex vector space of all holomorphic polynomials of degree at most $d$ restricted to $A$ . Let $K$ be a nonpolar compact subset of $A$ , and for each $d = 1, 2, . . .,$ choose $m_{d}$ points ${A_{d j}}_{j = 1, . . ., m_{d}}$ in $K$ . Finally, let $Λ_{d}$ be the $d$ -th Lebesgue constant of the array ${A_{d j}}$ ; i.e., $Λ_{d}$ is the operator norm of the Lagrange interpolation operator $L_{d}$ acting on $C (K)$ , where $L_{d} (f)$ is the Lagrange interpolating polynomial for $f$ of degree $d$ at the points ${A_{d j}}_{j = 1, . . ., m_{d}}$ . Using techniques...

Polynomial relations amongst algebraic units of low measure

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

For an algebraic number field and a subset $α_{1}, . . ., α_{r} \subseteq_{}$ , we establish a lower bound for the average of the logarithmic heights that depends on the ideal of polynomials in $ℚ [x_{1}, . . ., x_{r}]$ vanishing at the point $(α_{1}, . . ., α_{r})$ .

Linear independence of linear forms in polylogarithms

Raffaele Marcovecchio (2006)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

For $x \in ℂ$ , $| x | < 1$ , $s \in ℕ$ , let ${Li}_{s} (x)$ be the $s$ -th polylogarithm of $x$ . We prove that for any non-zero algebraic number $α$ such that $| α | < 1$ , the $ℚ (α)$ -vector space spanned by $1, {Li}_{1} (α), {Li}_{2} (α), \dots$ has infinite dimension. This result extends a previous one by Rivoal for rational $α$ . The main tool is a method introduced by Fischler and Rivoal, which shows the coefficients of the polylogarithms in the relevant series to be the unique solution of a suitable Padé approximation problem.

Diagonalization and rationalization of algebraic Laurent series

Boris Adamczewski, Jason P. Bell (2013)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We prove a quantitative version of a result of Furstenberg [20] and Deligne [14] stating that the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic is algebraic. As a consequence, we obtain that for every prime $p$ the reduction modulo $p$ of the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series $f$ with integer coefficients is an algebraic power series of degree at most $p^{A}$ and height at most $A p^{A}$ , where $A$ is an effective constant that only...

Algebraic independence of the values at algebraic points of a class of functions considered by Mahler

N. Ch. Wass

Similarity:

This thesis is concerned with the problem of determining a measure of algebraic independence for a particular m-tuple θ₁,..., $θ_{m}$ of complex numbers. Specifically, let K be a number field and let f₁(z),..., $f_{m} (z)$ be elements of K[[z]] algebraically independent over K(z) satisfying equations of the form(*) $f_{j} (z^{b}) = \sum_{i = 1}^{m} f_{i} (z) a_{i j} (z) + b_{j} (z)$ (j = i,...,m)for b ≥ 2, $a_{i j} (z)$ , $b_{j} (z)$ in K(z). Suppose finally that α ∈ K is such that 0 < |α| < 1, the $f_{j} (z$ ) converge at z = α and the $a_{i j} (z)$ , $b_{j} (z)$ are analytic at $z = α, α^{b}, α^{b ²}, . . .$ Then the $θ_{i} = f_{i} (α)$ are algebraically independent...

On the principle of real moduli flexibility: perfect parametrizations

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let V be a real algebraic manifold of positive dimension. The aim of this paper is to show that, for every integer b (arbitrarily large), there exists a trivial Nash family $= {V_{y}}_{y \in R^{b}}$ of real algebraic manifolds such that V₀ = V, is an algebraic family of real algebraic manifolds over $y \in R^{b} ∖ 0$ (possibly singular over y = 0) and is perfectly parametrized by $R^{b}$ in the sense that $V_{y}$ is birationally nonisomorphic to $V_{z}$ for every $y, z \in R^{b}$ with y ≠ z. A similar result continues to hold if V is a singular real algebraic...
