Abstract

In this short note, we study Lehmer’s conjecture in terms of stability theory. We state Bounded Lehmer’s conjecture, and we prove that if a certain formula is uniformly stable in a class of structures, then Bounded Lehmer’s conjecture holds. Our proof is based on Van der Waerden’s theorem from additive combinatorics.
