Computing totally positive algebraic integers of small trace

چکیده

We construct minimal polynomials of totally positive algebraic integers of small absolute trace by consideration of their reductions modulo auxiliary polynomials. Many new examples of such polynomials of minimal absolute trace (for given degree) are found. The computations are pushed to degrees that previously were unattainable, and one consequence is that the new examples form the majority of all those known. As an application, we produce a new bound for the Schur-Siegel-Smyth trace problem.

Trace 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...

Salem 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...

Salem numbers of negative trace

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).

Systoles of Arithmetic Hyperbolic Surfaces and 3–manifolds

Our main result is that for any positive real number x0, the set of commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic 2– or 3–manifolds with fixed invariant trace field k and systole bounded below by x0 has density one within the set of all commensurability classes of arithmetic hyperbolic 2– or 3–manifolds with invariant trace field k. The proof relies upon bounds for the absolute logarithmic ...
