Classifying expansions of the real field by complex subgroups
In this thesis, we study expansions of the real field by multiplicative subgroups of the complex numbers. We first consider expansions by a subgroup generated by an element of the unit circle and a positive real number. We then consider expansions by a subgroup generated by a complex number and a …
