Authored summary

Unresolved in this packet after the dated source check. Strongest checked result: Dobrowolski gives a degree-dependent lower bound above 1 for noncyclotomic algebraic integers, while the gap shrinks with degree. Lehmer's degree-10 example remains the smallest known Mahler measure above 1. Exact unresolved remainder: Prove a constant c>1 such that every noncyclotomic monic integer polynomial P satisfies M(P)>=c, or disprove such a uniform gap.

The record cites sources for its explanation.
