A refinement of two theorems of Kronecker (Q2394561): Difference between revisions

The authors prove the following two theorems, which are refinements of two results of \textit{L. Kronecker} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 53, 173--175 (1857; Zbl 02750398)]. Theorem 1. If an algebraic integer \(\alpha\ne 0\) is not a root of unity, and if \(2s\) among its conjugates \(\alpha_i\) \((i = 1, 2, \ldots, n)\) are complex, then \(\displaystyle \max_{1\le i\le n} \vert\alpha_i\vert > 1 + 4^{-s-2}\). Theorem 2. If a totally real algebraic integer \(\beta\) is different from \(2 \cos \rho\pi\) \((\rho\) rational), and \(\{\beta_i\}\) \((i = 1, 2, \ldots, n)\) is the set of its conjugates, then \(\displaystyle\max \{\beta_i\} > 2 + 4^{-2n-3}\).
