SMALL VALUE ESTIMATES FOR THE ADDITIVE GROUP
Abstract
We generalize Gel'fond's criterion for algebraic independence to the context of a sequence of polynomials whose first derivatives take small values on large subsets of a fixed subgroup of ℂ, instead of just one point (one extension deals with a subgroup of ℂ×).
À Michel Waldschmidt, infatigable voyageur et grand communicateur, avec mes meilleurs vœux et ma plus grande estime, à l'occasion de son soixantième anniversaire.
