Multiplicative relations with conjugate algebraic numbers

We study which algebraic numbers can be represented by a product of conjugate over a fixed number field K algebraic numbers in fixed integer powers. The problem is nontrivial if the sum of these integer powers is equal to zero. The norm over K of such number must be a root of unity. We show that t...

Description
Summary:We study which algebraic numbers can be represented by a product of conjugate over a fixed number field K algebraic numbers in fixed integer powers. The problem is nontrivial if the sum of these integer powers is equal to zero. The norm over K of such number must be a root of unity. We show that there are infinitely many algebraic numbers whose norm over K is a root of unity and which cannot be represented by such product. Conversely, every algebraic number can be expressed by every sufficiently long product in conjugate over K algebraic numbers. We also construct nonsymmetric algebraic numbers, i.e., such that none elements of the respective Galois group acting on the full set of their conjugates form a Latin square.
