For $A \\ge 1$ a real number, we show that \\[ \\{ \\alpha \\in k^{\\mathrm{cyc}} : h(\\alpha) \\in \\overline{\\mathbb Z} \\text{ has house at most } A \\} \\] is finite for many $h$. We also show that for many such $h$ the same result holds if $h(\\alpha)$ is replaced by orbits $h(h(\\cdots h(\\alpha)))$. This generalizes a result proved by Ostafe that concerns avoiding roots of unity, which is the case $A=1$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-08-14T22:18:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R18", "37F10" ], "keywords": [ "avoiding algebraic integers", "cyclotomic closure", "rational functions", "bounded house", "real number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
