Faber–Voloch conjecture on Newton approximation
Faber–Voloch conjecture on Newton approximation
Let be a polynomial of degree with coefficients in a number field , and let . Define the Newton map
and, for each , set . Assume that the Newton approximation sequence is not eventually periodic. Let be the set of primes of for which converges in the completion to a root of . Faber–Voloch's conjecture. The natural density of the set is zero. This conjecture predicts that, outside the eventually periodic case, Newton approximation converges -adically to a root for a density-zero set of primes. The source presents it as a conjecture motivating the choice of polynomial, and no resolution is supplied here.
