Abstract

We investigate the relationship between lower bounds for the Mahler measure and splitting of primes, and prove various lower bounds for the Mahler measure of algebraic integers in terms of the least common multiples of all inertia degrees of primes. The results generalise work of the second author and Kumar ['Lehmer’s problem and splitting of rational primes in number fields', Acta Math. Hungar. 169(2) (2023), 349–358].
