Geometrische Reihen in algebraischen Zahlkörpern
For a function field K and fixed polynomial F ∈ K[x] and varying f ∈ F (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of F(f) in terms of the height of f, establishing a strong result for the function field analogue of a classical problem in number theory.
In this paper, under a mild hypothesis, we prove a conjecture of Gross for the Stickelberger element of the maximal abelian extension over the rational function field unramified outside a set of four degree-one places.
