Let an irreducible have and a root outside the closed unit disk. Its leading coefficient must have absolute value one. The product of all roots outside the unit disk is then an algebraic integer with ; conjugate pairs make real, so . The quotient of the norm of any root by is both rational and an algebraic integer, and its absolute value is at most one. It is therefore , so every root has absolute norm two.
