Effective equidistribution of norm one elements in CM-fields
Abstract: For a number field $K$ let $\mathcal{S}_K$ be the maximal subgroup of the multiplicative group $K\times$ that embeds into the unit circle under each embedding of $K$ into the complex numbers. The group $\mathcal{S}_K$ can be seen as an archimedean counterpart to the group of units $\mathcal{O}_K\times$ of the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. If $K=\mathbb{Q}(\mathcal{S}_K)$ is a CM-field then $\mathcal{S}_K/{\mathop{\rm Tor}\nolimits}(K\times)$ is a free abelian group of infinite rank. If $K=\mathbb{Q}(\mathcal{S}_K)$ is not a CM-field then $\mathcal{S}_K={\pm 1}$. In the former case $\mathcal{S}_K$ is the kernel of the relative norm map from $K\times$ to the multiplicative subgroup $k\times$ of the maximal totally real subfield $k$ of $K$.
