Choose logarithms of nonzero algebraic numbers α1​,…,αn​ and algebraic numbers β0​,…,βn​, and put
Λ=β0​+∑j=1n​βj​logαj​.
(1)
Let Aj​ bound 10, the naive polynomial height of the minimal polynomial of αj​, and exp(∣logαj​∣). Let B bound all the corresponding heights of the βj​ and all logAj​. There is an effective constant C, depending only on n and the degree of the number field generated by the data, such that
Λ=0⟹∣Λ∣>exp(−C∏j=1n​logAj​logB).
