On the minimum modulus problem in number fields
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: The minimum modulus problem on covering systems was posed by ErdH{o}s in 1950, who asked whether the minimum modulus of a covering system with distinct moduli is bounded. In 2007, Filaseta, Ford, Konyagin, Pomerance and Yu affirmed it if the reciprocal sum of the moduli of a covering system is bounded. Later in 2015, Hough resolved this problem by showing that the minimum modulus is at most . In 2022, Balister, Bollob'as, Morris, Sahasrabudhe and Tiba reduced this bound to by developing a versatile method called the distortion method. Recently, Klein, Koukoulopoulos and Lemieux generalized Hough's result by using this method. In this paper, we develop the distortion method by introducing the theory of probability measures associated to an inverse system. Following Klein et al.'s work, we derive an analogue of their theorem in the setting of number fields, which provides a solution to ErdH{o}s' minimum modulus problem in number fields.
