The \(N\)-measure for algebraic integers having all their conjugates in a sector (Q2219115): Difference between revisions

For a nonnegative real number \(\theta \leq \pi /2,\) let \(\mathcal{S}_{\theta}\) be the set of nonzero algebraic integers whose conjugates are confined in the sector \(|\arg (z)|\leq \theta\). In the paper under review, the author studies the structure of sets \[ \mathcal{N}_{\theta}:=\{\mathfrak{n(\alpha})\mid \alpha \in \mathcal{S}_{\theta}\}, \] where \[ \mathfrak{n(\alpha}):=\prod_{j=1}^{d}(|\alpha_{j}|+\frac{1}{|\alpha_{j}|})^{\frac{1}{d}}, \] and \(\alpha_{1},\dots,\alpha_{d}\) are the conjugates of \(\alpha\). Mainly, she determines the seven smallest elements of \(\mathcal{N}_{0}\) and shows that \(\mathcal{N}_{0}\) is dense in the interval \((3.513182\dots,\infty)\). Also, in the same way as in [the author, Rocky Mt. J. Math. 50, No. 4, 1313--1321 (2020; Zbl 1466.11077)], she computes \(\inf \mathcal{N}_{\theta}\) for eight explicit values of the positive number \(\theta\).
