Sharp lower bounds for regulators of small-degree number fields. (English) Zbl 1415.11158
Summary: Minimal discriminants of number fields are presently known for 22 signatures. For 20 of these we give the minimal regulator. Except in the totally complex case, in each signature we find that the field with the minimal discriminant has the minimal regulator.
