On the height of cyclotomic polynomials

Abstract: Let

A_{n}

denote the height of cyclotomic polynomial

P h i_{n}

, where

n

is a product of

k

distinct odd primes. We prove that

A_{n} l e e p s i l o n_{k} p h i (n)^{k^{- 1} 2^{k - 1} - 1}

with

- l o g e p s i l o n_{k} s i m c 2^{k}

,

c > 0

. The same statement is true for the height

C_{n}

of the inverse cyclotomic polynomial

P s i_{n}

. Additionally, we improve on a bound of Kaplan for the maximal height of divisors of

x^{n} - 1

, denoted by

B_{n}

. We show that

B_{n} < e t a_{k} n^{(3^{k} - 1) / (2 k) - 1}

, with

- l o g e t a_{k} s i m c 3^{k}

and the same

c

.
