number field, embeddings
There are finitely many embeddings of a number field.
Equations
The number of embeddings of a number field is equal to its finrank.
Let A be an algebraically closed field and let x ∈ K, with K a number field.
The images of x by the embeddings of K in A are exactly the roots in A of
the minimal polynomial of x over ℚ.
Let B be a real number. The set of algebraic integers in K whose conjugates are all
smaller in norm than B is finite.
An algebraic integer whose conjugates are all of norm one is a root of unity.
An embedding into a normed division ring defines a place of K

Instances For
An embedding into ℂ is real if it is fixed by complex conjugation.
