Some conjectures on the maximal height of divisors of $x^n-1$

Nathan C. Ryan, Bryan C. Ward and Ryan Ward

Vol. 3 (2010), No. 4, 451–457
Abstract

Define B(n) to be the largest height of a polynomial in [x] dividing xn 1. We formulate a number of conjectures related to the value of B(n) when n is of a prescribed form. Additionally, we prove a lower bound for B(n).
