Complex Numbers: Uncommon Knowledge

In this note we unveil some subfields of the field of complex numbers which are well known to specialists, but seem to remain hidden for a wider mathematical audience. The existence and construc- tions of these fields follow directly from famous results of the 20-th century, however standard graduate textbooks avoid these topics.

Abstract

In this note we unveil some subfields of the field of complex numbers which are well known to specialists, but seem to remain hidden for a wider mathematical audience. The existence and construc- tions of these fields follow directly from famous results of the 20-th century, however standard graduate textbooks avoid these topics.
