Let α, β and γ be algebraic numbers of respective degrees a, b and c over Q such that α + β + γ = 0. We prove that there exist algebraic numbers α1, β1 and γ1 of the same respective degrees a, b and c over Q such that α1β1γ1 = 1. This proves a previously formulated conjecture. We also investigate the problem of describing the set of triplets (a, b, c) ∈ N for which there exist finite field extensions K/k and L/k (of a fixed field k) of degrees a and b, respectively, such that the degree of the…

### A DEGREE PROBLEM FOR TWO ALGEBRAIC NUMBERS AND THEIR SUM

• Mathematics
• 2012
For all but one positive integer triplet (a; b; c) with a < b < c and b < 6, we decide whether there are algebraic numbers α,β and γ of degrees a, b and y, respectively, such that α+β+γ = 0. The

We prove that the sum of two algebraic numbers both of degree 6 cannot be of degree 8. The triplet (6, 6, 8) was the only undecided case in the previous characterization of all positive integer

### Degrees of sums in a separable field extension

Let F be any field and suppose that E is a separable algebraic extension of F. For elements aGE, we let dga denote the degree of the minimal polynomial of a over F. Let a, O E, dga=m, dgo3=n and

### Galois Theory

Remark 0.1 (Notation). |G| denotes the order of a finite group G. [E : F ] denotes the degree of a field extension E/F. We write H ≤ G to mean that H is a subgroup of G, and N G to mean that N is a
