Graham Everest, Thomas Ward - Heights of Polynomials and Entropy in Algebraic Dynamics
Published: 1999-03-19 | ISBN: 1852331259 | PDF + DJVU | 212 pages | 13.27 MB
The main theme of this book is the theory of heights as they appear in various guises. This includes a large body of results on Mahlers measure of the height of a polynomial. The authors'approach is very down to earth as they cover the rationals, assuming no prior knowledge of elliptic curves. The chapters include examples and particular computations, with all special calculation included so as to be self-contained. The authors devote space to discussing Mahlers measure and to giving some convincing and original examples to explain this phenomenon.
