We improve Mahler's lower bound for the Mahler measure in terms of the discriminant and degree for a specific class of polynomials: complex monic polynomials of degree $dgeq 2$ such that all roots with modulus greater than some fixed value $rgeq1$ occur in equal modulus pairs. We improve Mahler's exponent $frac{1}{2d-2}$ on the discriminant to $frac{1}{2d-3}$. Moreover, we show that this value is sharp, even when restricting to minimal polynomials of integral generators of a fixed not totally real number field. An immediate consequence of this new lower bound is an improved lower bound for integral generators of number fields, generalising a simple observation of Ruppert from imaginary quadratic to totally complex number fields of arbitrary degree.

Let $t$ be any imaginary quadratic integer with $|t|geq 100$. We prove that the inequality [ |F_t(X,Y)| = | X^4 - t X^3 Y - 6 X^2 Y^2 + t X Y^3 + Y^4 | leq 1 ] has only trivial solutions $(x,y)$ in integers of the same imaginary quadratic number field as $t$. Moreover, we prove results on the inequalities $|F_t(X,Y)| leq C|t|$ and $|F_t(X,Y)| leq |t|^{2 -varepsilon}$. These results follow from an approximation result that is based on the hypergeometric method. The proofs in this paper require a fair amount of computations, for which the code (in Sage) is provided.
设$t$为任意带$|t|geq 100$的虚二次整数。证明了不等式[ |F_t(X,Y)| = | X^4 - t X^3 Y - 6 X^2 Y^2 + t X Y^3 + Y^4 | leq 1 ]在与$t$相同的虚二次数域的整数中只有平凡解$(x,y)$。此外,我们还证明了不等式$|F_t(X,Y)| leq C|t|$和$|F_t(X,Y)| leq |t|^{2 -varepsilon}$的结果。这些结果来自基于超几何方法的近似结果。本文中的证明需要相当数量的计算,为此提供了代码(在Sage中)。

We generalize results of Duke, Garcia, Hyde, Lutz and others on the distribution of sums of roots of unity related to Gaussian periods to obtain equidistribution of similar sums over zeros of arbitrary integral polynomials. We also interpret these results in terms of trace functions, and generalize them to higher rank trace functions.

We show that under appropriate hypotheses, the $p$-part of the ideal class groups is bounded over finite subextensions of an anticyclotomic $mathbb{Z}_q$-extension of $K$. Let $F$ be a number field and let $A_{/F}$ be an abelian variety with $A[p]subseteq A(F)$. We give sufficient conditions for the $p$-part of the fine Selmer groups of $A$ over finite subextensions of a $mathbb{Z}_q$-extension of $F$ to stabilize.
