Simultaneous Approximation and Algebraic Independence
نویسنده
چکیده
We establish several new measures of simultaneous algebraic approximations for families of complex numbers (θ1, . . . , θn) related to the classical exponential and elliptic functions. These measures are completely explicit in terms of the degree and height of the algebraic approximations. In some instances, they imply that the fieldQ(θ1, . . . , θn) has transcendance degree≥2 overQ. This approach which is ultimately based on the technique of interpolation determinants provides an alternative to Gel’fond’s transcendence criterion. We also formulate a conjecture about simultaneous algebraic approximation which would yield higher transcendance degrees from these measures.

Criteria for irrationality, linear independence, transcendence and algebraic independence
For proving linear independence of real numbers, Hermite [6] considered simultaneous approximation to these numbers by algebraic numbers. The point of view introduced by Siegel in 1929 [14] is dual (duality in the sense of convex bodies): he considers simultaneous approximation by means of independent linear forms. We define the height of a linear form L = a0X0 + · · · + amXm with complex coeff...
متن کاملSimultaneous Approximation of Logarithms of Algebraic Numbers
Recently, close connections have been established between simultaneous diophantine approximation and algebraic independence. A survey of this topic is given by M. Laurent in these proceedings [7]. These connections are one of the main motivations to investigate systematically the question of algebraic approximation to transcendental numbers. In view of the applications to algebraic independence...

متن کاملALGEBRAIC INDEPENDENCE OF CERTAIN FORMAL POWER SERIES (I)
We give a proof of the generalisation of Mendes-France and Van der Poorten's recent result over an arbitrary field of positive characteristic and then by extending a result of Carlitz, we shall introduce a class of algebraically independent series.
