Pisot–Vijayaraghavan numbers
A Pisot–Vijayaraghavan number (or PV number) is a real algebraic integer
θ > 1 all of whose Galois conjugates other than θ itself lie strictly
inside the complex unit disc. Equivalently, every root in ℂ of the minimal
polynomial of θ over ℚ, apart from θ, has modulus < 1.

A Pisot–Vijayaraghavan number is a real algebraic integer θ > 1 all of
whose other conjugates lie strictly inside the complex unit disc: every root in
ℂ of the minimal polynomial of θ over ℚ, except θ itself, has
modulus < 1.
The golden ratio φ = (1 + √5) / 2 is a Pisot number: it is an algebraic
integer greater than 1, its minimal polynomial over ℚ is X ^ 2 - X - 1, and
its only other conjugate ψ = (1 - √5) / 2 has modulus (√5 - 1) / 2 < 1.
