Abstract
Denote by $h$ the (absolute, logarithmic) Weil height. The celebrated Bilu's equidistribution theorem claims that for any sequence $(x_n)_n$ of algebraic numbers satisfying $[\mathbb{Q}(x_n):\mathbb{Q}] \to +\infty$ and $h(x_n) \to 0$, the sequence of Galois orbits of $x_n$ is equidistributed around the unit circle.
Following a method due to Mignotte, I will explain why every sequence $(S_n)_n$ of finite subsets of algebraic numbers satisfying $\# S_n \to +\infty$ and $\sum_{\alpha \in S_n} (h(\alpha)/ \# S_n) \to 0$ is equidistributed "in average" around the unit circle. This is joint work with Amoroso.
