Many papers have been written on the subject of bounding heights of cyclotomic polynomials. One result, due to H. Maier, gives a best possible upper bound of n^{\\psi(n)} for almost all n, where \\psi(n) is any function that approaches infinity as n tends to infinity. We will discuss the related problem of bounding the maximal height over all polynomial divisors of x^n - 1 and give an analogue of Maier's result in this scenario.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-11-23T05:29:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integer coefficients", "polynomial divisors", "largest coefficient", "maximal height", "absolute value" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1111.5404T" } } }
