Topic: Algebraic integer conjugate norm bound

Do we have this?
Let be a non-zero algebraic integer. Then has a conjugate with .

I don't think we have this precise statement, but it should easy to prove: the absolute value of the norm is a least 1, so it's not possible that all the conjugate have absolute value less than 1.

Note that we have NumberField.Embeddings.pow_eq_one_of_norm_eq_one, so we know that, except in the root of unity case, there is a conjugate with absolute value strictly bigger than 1.

The result should be easy to prove using docs#NumberField.InfinitePlace.one_le_of_lt_one
