      The author obtains new refinements of certain inequalities of Cartwright and Field, as well as Alzer, on the difference \(A-G\), where \(A\) and \(G\) denote the arithmetic, resp. geometric means of \(n\) positive numbers. The proofs are based on interesting applications of the Cauchy mean value theorem of differential calculus.
