Download or read book Diophantine Approximation on Linear Algebraic Groups written by Michel Waldschmidt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-05-26 with total page 672 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of transcendental numbers is closely related to the study of diophantine approximation. This book deals with values of the usual exponential function ez: a central open problem is the conjecture on algebraic independence of logarithms of algebraic numbers. Two chapters provide complete and simplified proofs of zero estimates (due to Philippon) on linear algebraic groups.
