Algebraic degree of series of reciprocal algebraic integers

Abstract

In this paper, I give sufficient conditions for any linear combination in $\mathbb{Q}$ of numbers $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{b_{1,n}}{\alpha_{1,n}}$, $\ldots$, $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{b_{K,n}}{\alpha_{K,n}}$ to have algebraic degree greater than an arbitrary fixed integer $D$ when the numbers $\alpha_{i,n}$ are algebraic integers of sufficiently rapidly increasing modulus and the $b_{i,n}$ are positive integers that are not too large.
