Integral Orthogonal Bases Of Small Height For Real Polynomial Spaces, Lenny Fukshansky

CMC Faculty Publications and Research

Let PN(R) be the space of all real polynomials in N variables with the usual inner product < , > on it, given by integrating over the unit sphere. We start by deriving an explicit combinatorial formula for the bilinear form representing this inner product on the space of coefficient vectors of all polynomials in PN(R) of degree ≤ M. We exhibit two applications of this formula. First, given a finite dimensional subspace V of PN(R) defined over Q, we prove the existence of an orthogonal basis for (V, < , >), consisting of polynomials of small height …

Search Bounds For Zeros Of Polynomials Over The Algebraic Closure Of Q, Lenny Fukshansky

CMC Faculty Publications and Research

We discuss existence of explicit search bounds for zeros of polynomials with coefficients in a number field. Our main result is a theorem about the existence of polynomial zeros of small height over the field of algebraic numbers outside of unions of subspaces. All bounds on the height are explicit.
