I have been reading about transfinite diameter and its applications to number theory and have been hunting for the following paper for quite a while:


Cantor D.: On an extension of the definition of transfinite diameter and some
applications, J. reine Angew. Math., vol. 316 (1980), pp. 160-207.


Unfortunately, I am an undergraduate and have no access to MathSciNet or other resources which provide papers for free. The only links I got results from are ones accepting a payment which is completely outside my financial capacity. From some advice I got in a previous similar reference-request post, I tried an interlibrary loan but due to the pandemic and no nearby libraries, that hasn't been successful so far. I would really appreciate a link to the full text of the above reference. Thank you.



Looking for a paper on transfinite diameter by David Cantor
Hopefully this works:


[Cantor D.: On an extension of the definition of transfinite diameter and some applications](https://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/id/PPN243919689_0316?tify=%7B%22pages%22:%5B164,165%5D,%22panX%22:0.966,%22panY%22:0.416,%22view%22:%22scan%22,%22zoom%22:0.464%7D)

Since you said that you had "been hunting for the following paper for quite a while," here are the specific steps that I took to find this paper. Probably this will make it seem simple in retrospect, but I don't want to give off the impression that this required a complex knowledge of databases.


1. I googled [the title of the paper](https://www.google.com/search?q=On+an+extension+of+the+definition+of+transfinite+diameter+and+some+applications)
2. I clicked the link to [EUDML](https://eudml.org/doc/152247) (with which I wasn't previously familiar)
3. The sidebar says **In Other Databases** and I didn't find ZBMath helpful, so I used [GDZ](https://gdz.sub.uni-goettingen.de/id/PPN243919689_0316?tify=%7B%22view%22:%22info%22,%22pages%22:%5B164%5D%7D)
4. I've never heard of GDZ before, but I saw the paper listed on p. 160 of that document and, indeed, the paper was there


For future reference, there is also an often used website called **sci-hub [dot] tw** that can pull papers for which you have the DOI. You can read more about [Sci-Hub](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sci-Hub) on wikipedia and decide whether that is a route that you are willing to take when searching out future materials.
