The Mean Values of Totally Real Algebraic Integers
Chris J. Smyth · Mathematics of Computation · 1984
Let ${M_p}(\alpha )$ be the pth root of the mean absolute values of the pth powers of a totally real algebraic integer $\alpha$. For each fixed $p > 0$ we study the set ${\mathfrak {M}_p}$ of such ${M_p}(\alpha )$. We show that its structure is as follows: on the nonnegative real line it consists of some isolated points, followed by a small interval in which its structure is as yet undetermined. Beyond this small interval, it is everywhere dense.
