Abstract: Let $alpha$ be a complex number. We show that there is a finite subset $F$ of the ring of the rational integers $mathbbZ$, such that $Fleft[alphaight]=mathbbZleft[alphaight]$, if and only if $alpha$ is an algebraic number whose conjugates, over the field of the rationals, are all of modulus one, or all of modulus greater than one. This completes the answer to a question, on the numbers satisfying the height reducing property, posed in [3].

Review text

A complex number \(\alpha\) is said to satisfy the height reducing property if there exists a finite subset \(F\) of the integers \(\mathbb Z\) such that \(F[\alpha] = \mathbb Z[\alpha]\), i.e., if each complex number of the form \(f(\alpha)\), where \(f \in \mathbb Z[X]\), has the form \(\sum f_j\alpha^j\) for \(f_j \in F\). In this article, the authors prove that \(\alpha\) has the height reducing property if and only if it is an algebraic number whose conjugates over the rationals all have modulus \(1\), or all have modulus \(> 1\).
