A note on extensions of Q^tr

Abstract: In this note we investigate the behaviour of the absolute logarithmic Weil-height h on extensions of the field mathbbQtr of totally real numbers. It is known that there is a gap between zero and the next smallest value of h on mathbbQtr, whereas in mathbbQtr(i) there are elements of arbitrarily small positive height. We prove that all elements of small height in any finite extension of mathbbQtr already lie in mathbbQtr(i). This leads to a positive answer to a question of Amoroso, David and Zannier, if there exists a pseudo algebraically closed field with the mentioned height gap.
