On the height of some generators of galois extensions with big galois group
We study the height of generators of Galois extensions of the rationals
having the alternating group as Galois group. We prove that if
such generators are obtained from certain, albeit classical, constructions,
their height tends to infinity as increases. This provides an analogue of a
result by Amoroso, originally established for the symmetric group
Explicit lower bounds for the height in Galois extensions of number fields
Amoroso and Masser proved that for every real , there exists a
constant , such that for every algebraic number with
being a Galois extension, the height of
is either 0 or at least . In this article we establish an
explicit version of this theorem
