Abstract
Based on the work of Dufresnoy and Pisot, we develop an algorithm for determining all the Pisot numbers in an interval of the real line, provided this number is finite. We apply the algorithm to the problem of determining small Salem numbers by Salem's construction, and to the proof that certain Pisot sequences satisfy no linear re-

Speculations concerning the range of Mahler's measure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe Smyth's lecture at the University of British Columbia and present a number of proofs which would not be otherwise accessible as Appendix A. The attentive reader will soon realize the appropriateness of the title.

On groups generated by two positive multi-twists: Teichmuller curves and Lehmer's number

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derive several interesting facts about subgroups of the mapping class group generated by two positive multi-twists, and identify all configurations of curves for which the corresponding groups fail to be free.
