    On the height of some generators of galois extensions with big galois group

    Full text link
    We study the height of generators of Galois extensions of the rationals having the alternating group An\mathfrak{A}_n as Galois group. We prove that if such generators are obtained from certain, albeit classical, constructions, their height tends to infinity as nn 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

    Full text link
    Amoroso and Masser proved that for every real ϵ>0\epsilon > 0, there exists a constant c(ϵ)>0c(\epsilon)>0, such that for every algebraic number α\alpha with Q(α)/Q\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)/\mathbb{Q} being a Galois extension, the height of α\alpha is either 0 or at least c(ϵ)[Q(α):Q]−ϵc(\epsilon) [\mathbb{Q}(\alpha):\mathbb{Q}]^{-\epsilon}. In this article we establish an explicit version of this theorem
