Salem numbers of negative trace
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that, for all d ≥ 4, there are Salem numbers of degree 2d and trace −1, and that the number of such Salem numbers is d/ (log log d). As a consequence, it follows that the number of totally positive algebraic integers of degree d and trace 2d − 1 is also d/ (log log d).

There Are Salem Numbers of Every Trace
We show that there are Salem numbers of every trace. The nontrivial part of this result is for Salem numbers of negative trace. The proof has two main ingredients. The first is a novel construction, using pairs of polynomials whose zeros interlace on the unit circle, of polynomials of specified negative trace having one factor a Salem polynomial, with any other factors being cyclotomic. The sec...

متن کاملSalem Numbers of Trace -2 and Traces of Totally Positive Algebraic Integers
Until recently, no Salem numbers were known of trace below −1. In this paper we provide several examples of trace −2, including an explicit infinite family. We establish that the minimal degree for a Salem number of trace −2 is 20, and exhibit all Salem numbers of degree 20 and trace −2. Indeed there are just two examples. We also settle the closely-related question of the minimal degree d of a...
متن کاملTrace of totally positive algebraic integers and integer transfinite diameter
Explicit auxiliary functions can be used in the “Schur-SiegelSmyth trace problem”. In the previous works, these functions were constructed only with polynomials having all their roots positive. Here, we use several polynomials with complex roots, which are found with Wu’s algorithm, and we improve the known lower bounds for the absolute trace of totally positive algebraic integers. This improve...
متن کاملOn the beta expansion for Salem numbers of degree 6
For a given β > 1, the beta transformation T = Tβ is defined for x ∈ [0, 1] by Tx := βx (mod 1). The number β is said to be a beta number if the orbit {T(1)}n≥1 is finite, hence eventually periodic. It is known that all Pisot numbers are beta numbers, and it is conjectured that this is true for Salem numbers, but this is known only for Salem numbers of degree 4. Here we consider some computatio...
