Abstract (Original language)
Résumé

Let $α$ be an algebraic integer of degree $d$ with conjugates $α_{1} = α, α_{2}, \dots, α_{d}$ . In the paper we give a lower bound for the mean value

M_{p} (α) = \sqrt[p]{\frac{1}{d} \sum_{i = 1}^{d} | log | α_{i} {| |}^{p}}

when

α

is not a root of unity and

p > 1

.

Soit $α_{1} = α, α_{2}, \dots, α_{d}$ l’ensemble des conjugués d’un entier algébrique $α$ de degré $d$ , n’étant pas une racine de l’unité. Dans cet article on propose de minorer

M_{p} (α) = \sqrt[p]{\frac{1}{d} \sum_{i = 1}^{d} | log | α_{i} {| |}^{p}}

où

p > 1

.
