Counting Perron Numbers by Absolute Value
نویسندگان
چکیده
We count various classes of algebraic integers of fixed degree by their largest absolute value. The classes of integers considered include all algebraic integers, Perron numbers, totally real integers, and totally complex integers. We give qualitative and quantitative results concerning the distribution of Perron numbers, answering in part a question of W. Thurston [Thu].

Rényi β - expansions of 1 with β > 1 a real algebraic number , Perron numbers and a classification problem
We prove that for all algebraic number β > 1 the strings of zeros in the Rényi βexpansion dβ(1) of 1 exhibit a lacunarity bounded above by log(s(Pβ))/ log(β), where s(Pβ) is the size of the minimal polynomial of β. The conjecture about the specification of the β-shift, equivalently the uniform discreteness of the sets Zβ of β-integers, for β a Perron number is discussed. We propose a classifica...
متن کاملCounting Generalized Orders on Not Necessarily Formally Real Fields
The set of classical orderings of a field compatible with a given place from the field to the real numbers is known to be bijective with the set of homomorphisms from the value group of the place into the two element group. This fact is generalized here to the set of “generalized orders” compatible with an “extended absolute value,” i.e., an absolute value allowed to take the value ∞. The set o...
متن کاملTotally Nonnegative (0, 1)-Matrices
We investigate (0, 1)-matrices which are totally nonnegative and therefore which have all of their eigenvalues equal to nonnegative real numbers. Such matrices are characterized by four forbidden submatrices (of orders 2 and 3). We show that the maximum number of 0s in an irreducible (0, 1)-matrix of order n is (n − 1) and characterize those matrices with this number of 0s. We also show that th...
متن کاملA PRECISE DESCRIPTION OF THE p-ADIC VALUATION OF THE NUMBER OF ALTERNATING SIGN MATRICES
Following Sun and Moll [4], we study vp(T (N)), the p-adic valuation of the counting function of the alternating sign matrices. We find an exact analytic expression for it that exhibits the fluctuating behaviour, by means of Fourier coefficients. The method is the Mellin-Perron technique, which is familiar in the analysis of the sum-of-digits function and related quantities.
متن کاملAlgebraic Properties of Weak Perron Numbers
We study algebraic properties of real positive algebraic numbers which are not less than the moduli of their conjugates. In particular, we are interested in the relation of these numbers to Perron numbers.
