TWO EXERCISES CONCERNING THE DEGREE OF THE PRODUCT OF ALGEBRAIC NUMBERS

Arturas Dubickas

Department of Mathematics and Informatics, Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania

Abstract: Let $k$ be a field, and let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two algebraic numbers over $k$ of degree $d$ and $\ell$, respectively. We find necessary and sufficient conditions under which $\deg(\alpha\beta)=d\ell$ and $\deg(\alpha+\beta)=d\ell$. Since these conditions are quite difficult to check, we also state a simple sufficient condition for such equalities to occur.

Keywords: field, algebraic number, degree, root of unity

Classification (MSC2000): 11R04; 11R32, 12E99
