On points with algebraically conjugate coordinates close to smooth curves

Abstract: We show that for any sufficiently large integer

Q

and a real

0 l e q l a m b d a l e q f r a c 34

there exists a value

c (n, f, J) > 0

such that all strips

L (Q, l a m b d a) = (x, y) : | y - f (x) | < Q^{- l a m b d a}, x i n J = [a, b]

contain at least

c (n, f, J) Q^{n + 1 - l a m b d a}

points

with algebraically conjugate coordinates. We consider points

such that the minimal polynomial

P (x)

of

is of degree

d e g P l e q n, n g e 2

, and height

H (P) l e q Q

. The proof is based on a metric theorem on the measure of the set of vectors

(x, y)

lying in a rectangle

P i

of dimensions

Q^{- s_{1}} i m e s Q^{- s_{2}}

with

| P (x) |, | P (y) |

bounded from above and

| P^{'} (x) |, | P^{'} (y) |

bounded from below, where

P (x)

is a polynomial of degree

d e g P l e q n

and height

H (P) l e q Q

. This theorem is a generalization of a result obtained by V. Bernik, F. G"otze and O. Kukso for

s_{1} = s_{2} = f r a c 12

and

l a m b d a = f r a c 12

.
