Problem 507
Prove that any field automorphism of the field of real numbers $\R$ must be the identity automorphism.
Add to solve laterProve that any field automorphism of the field of real numbers $\R$ must be the identity automorphism.
Add to solve laterLet $\R^{\times}=\R\setminus \{0\}$ be the multiplicative group of real numbers.
Let $\C^{\times}=\C\setminus \{0\}$ be the multiplicative group of complex numbers.
Then show that $\R^{\times}$ and $\C^{\times}$ are not isomorphic as groups.
