On multiplicatively independent bases in cyclotomic number fields

Abstract: Recently the authors showed that the algebraic integers of the form

- m + z e t a_{k}

are bases of a canonical number system of

m a t h b b Z [z e t a_{k}]

provided

m g e q p h i (k) + 1

, where

z e t a_{k}

denotes a

k

-th primitive root of unity and

p h i

is Euler's totient function. In this paper we are interested in the questions whether two bases

- m + z e t a_{k}

and

- n + z e t a_{k}

are multiplicatively independent. We show the multiplicative independence in case that

0 < | m - n | < 1 0^{6}

and

| m |, | n | > 1

.
