Arithmetic properties of series of reciprocals of algebraic integers

Abstract

We obtain results bounding the degree of the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} 1/\alpha_n$, where $\{\alpha_n\}$ is a sequence of algebraic integers satisfying certain algebraic conditions and growth conditions. Our results extend results of Erd\H{o}s, Han\v{c}l and Nair.
