Reference request for a basic result on relative differents & discriminants

I am looking for a better reference for the results in this extremely short and elementary paper: Tôyama, Hiraku, `A note on the different of the composed field', Kōdai Math. Sem. Rep. 7 (1955), 43–44 …

The best possible density in Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem

Let $f(X,t_1,\dots,t_s)$ be an irreducible polynomial with coefficients in $\mathcal{O}_K$, the ring of integers of a number field $K$. By work of S. D. Cohen (http://plms.oxfordjournals.org/content/ …

How much do I need to learn algebraic geometry to understand arithmetics over number fields

I'm going to say no: it's not necessary to know the modern algebraic geometry to explore the theory of rational points of algebraic varieties. Obviously, as pointed out in some of the answers, it's h …

Is the infimum of Salem numbers > 1?

Just wanted to add: the conjecture that Salem numbers are bounded away from one (the "Salem Conjecture") is wide open as the other answers state, and it's equivalent to part of what is known as the "S …

When complex conjugation lies in the center of a Galois group

Let $K \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ be a number field (I'm fixing an embedding), and assume $K/\mathbb{Q}$ is Galois with Galois group $G$. Let $\tau \in G$ denote complex conjugation. This question concer …

algorithm to find a new point of small height in a number field extension

By the height of an algebraic number $\alpha$, I mean the absolute, logarithmic (additive) Weil height $h(\alpha)$; e.g. $h(2^{1/n}) = (\log 2)/n.$ If $K$ is a number field, let $\delta(K)$ denote …
