Abstract:
|
This dissertation is about the Weil height of algebraic numbers and the Mahler measure of polynomials in one variable . We investigate connections between the normalizer of a stabilizer and lower bounds for the Weil height of algebraic numbers . In the Archimedean case we extend a result of Schinzel [Sch73] and in the non -archimedean case we establish a result related to work of Amoroso and Dvornicich [Am00a] . We establish that amongst all polynomials in Z[x] whose splitting fields are contained in dihedral Galois extensions of the rationals , x³ -x -1 , attains the lowest Mahler measure different from 1 . |
