Let ω 1 be a ...

Question

Let $ω \neq 1$ be a cube root of unity. Then the minimum of the set
${| a + b ω + c ω^{2} |^{2} : a, b, c distinct non-zero integers}$ equals

Solution

$| a + b ω + c ω^{2} |^{2}$
$= (a + b ω + c ω^{2}) ¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯ (a + b ω + c ω^{2})$
$= (a + b ω + c ω^{2}) (a + b ω^{2} + c ω)$
$= (a^{2} + a b ω^{2} + a c ω + a b ω + b^{2} ω^{3} + b c ω^{2} + a c ω^{2} + b c ω^{4} + c^{2} ω^{3})$
$= (a^{2} + ω^{3} (b^{2} + c^{2}) + a b (ω^{2} + ω) + a c (ω^{2} + ω) + b c (ω^{2} + ω^{4}))$
$= a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - a b - a c - b c$
$= \frac{1}{2} [(a - b)^{2} + (b - c)^{2} + (c - a)^{2}]$
$Let a > b > c \Rightarrow | a - b | \geq 1, | b - c | \geq 1, | a - c | \geq 2$
$\geq \frac{1}{2} [1 + 1 + 4]$
So, minimum of set $| a + b ω + c ω^{2} |^{2} = 3$
