A Polynomial Time Test to Detect Number with Many Exceptional Points

Ryan Carpenter, Charles L. Samuels

For each algebraic number $α$ and each positive real number $t$ , the $t$ -metric Mahler measure $m_{t} (α)$ creates an extremal problem whose solution varies depending on the value of…

Rotation Symmetries of Sequential Matrices with Applications to the Jacobi Symbol

Yemeen Ayub, Charles L. Samuels

Suppose that $p$ is an odd prime and $(\frac{\cdot}{p})$ denotes the Legendre symbol modulo $p$ . If $p$ is has the form $p = n^{2} + 1$ then one easily verifies that $\genfra…

Metric Mahler measures over number fields

Charles L. Samuels

For an algebraic number $α$ , the metric Mahler measure $m_{1} (α)$ was first studied by Dubickas and Smyth in 2001 and was later generalized to the $t$ -metric Mahler measure $m_{t} (α)$ …

Counting Exceptional Points for Rational Numbers Associated to the Fibonacci Sequence

Charles L. Samuels

If $α$ is a non-zero algebraic number, we let $m (α)$ denote the Mahler measure of the minimal polynomial of $α$ over $Z$ . A series of articles by Dubickas and Smyth, and la…

Continued fraction expansions in connection with the metric Mahler measure

Charles L. Samuels

The metric Mahler measure was first studied by Dubickas and Smyth in 2001 as a means of phrasing Lehmer's conjecture in topological language. More recent work of the author examine…

On the non-Archimedean metric Mahler measure

Paul Fili, Charles L. Samuels

Recently, Dubickas and Smyth constructed and examined the metric Mahler measure and the metric naïve height on the multiplicative group of algebraic numbers. We give a non-Archimed…

Lower bounds on the projective heights of algebraic points

Charles L. Samuels

If $α_{1}, \dots, α_{r}$ are algebraic numbers such that $N = i = 1 \sum r α_{i} \neq = i = 1 \sum r α_{i}^{- 1}$ for some integer $N$ , then a theorem of Beukers and Zagier gives the best possibl…

The Weil height in terms of an auxiliary polynomial

Charles L. Samuels

Recent theorems of Dubickas and Mossinghoff use auxiliary polynomials to give lower bounds on the Weil height of an algebraic number $α$ under certain assumptions on $α$ . We prove…

The finiteness of computing the ultrametric Mahler measure

Charles L. Samuels

Recent work of Fili and the author examines an ultrametric version of the Mahler measure, denoted $M_{\infty} (α)$ for an algebraic number $α$ . We show that the computation of $M_\inf…

Two inequalities on the areal Mahler measure

Stephen K. K. Choi, Charles L. Samuels

Recent work of Pritsker defines and studies an areal version of the Mahler measure. We further explore this function with a particular focus on the case where its value is small, a…

Polynomials whose reducibility is related to the Goldbach conjecture

Peter B. Borwein, Stephen K. K. Choi, Greg Martin +1

We introduce a collection of polynomials $F_{N}$ , associated to each positive integer $N$ , whose divisibility properties yield a reformulation of the Goldbach conjecture. While this…
