    Let \(a\) be an algebraic number, \(K\) an algebraic number field of degree \(d\), containing \(a\), let \(\Omega\) be the set of all normalized valuations of \(K\), and put \[ h_1(a)={1\over d}\sum_{v\in\Omega}\log(\max\{1,v(a),v(1-a)\}). \] The author shows, answering a question of Browkin, that for every \(X\) the set of all algebraic numbers \(a\) satisfying \([Q(a):Q]h_0(a)\leq X\) is finite.
