Abstract: Let Phin(x) denote the nth cyclotomic polynomial. In 1968 Sister Marion Beiter conjectured that an(k), the coefficient of xk in Phin(x), satisfies |an(k)|le(p+1)/2 in case n=pqr with p<q<r primes (in this case Phin(x) is said to be ternary). Since then several results towards establishing her conjecture have been proved (for example |an(k)|le3p/4). Here we show that, nevertheless, Beiter's conjecture is false for every pge11. We also prove that given any epsilon>0 there exist infinitely many triples (pj,qj,rj) with p1<p2<... consecutive primes such that |apjqjrj(nj)|>(2/3βˆ’epsilon)pj for jge1.
