On modules of integral elements over finitely generated domains

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper is motivated by the results and questions of Jason P. Bell and Kevin G. Hare in the paper "On mathbbZ-modules of algebraic integers" (Canad. J. Math. Vol. 61, 2009). Let mathcalO be a finitely generated mathbbZ-algebra that is an integrally closed domain of characteristic zero. We investigate the following two problems: (A) Fix q and r that are integral over mathcalO, describe all pairs (m,n)inmathbbN2 such that mathcalO[qm]=mathcalO[rn]. (B) Fix r that is integral over mathcalO, describe all q such that mathcalO[q]=mathcalO[r]. In this paper, we solve Problem (A), present a solution of Problem (B) by Evertse and GyH{o}ry, and explain their relation to the paper of Bell and Hare. In the following, c1 and c2 are effectively computable constants with a very mild dependence on mathcalO, q, and r. For (B), Evertse and GyH{o}ry show that there are Nleqc2 elements s1,ldots,sN such that mathcalO[si]=mathcalO[r] for every i, and for every q such that mathcalO[q]=mathcalO[r], we have q−usiinmathcalO for some 1leqileqN and uinmathcalO∗. This immediately answers two questions about Pisot numbers by Bell and Hare in ibid. For (A), we show that except some "degenerate" cases that can be explicitly described, there are at most c1 such pairs (m,n). This significantly strengthens some results in ibid. We also make some remarks on effectiveness and discuss further questions at the end of the paper.
