Michel Waldschmidt works on transcendental number theory and Diophantine approximation. With Patrice Philippon, he wrote quantitative results for linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers of algebraic numbers.[ref]
A nonzero expression such as can be small, but lower bounds limit how small it can be in terms of the algebraic data and coefficient sizes. Such bounds convert qualitative nonvanishing into numerical restrictions useful in solving Diophantine equations. The algebraic-coefficient and integer-coefficient cases require distinct estimates.[ref]
