Gel'fond-schneider Theorem

In mathematics, the Gel'fond-Schneider theorem is the following statement, originally proved by Aleksandr Gelfond:
If \alpha is an algebraic number (with \alpha\neq 0 and \alpha\neq 1), and \beta is an irrational algebraic number, then \alpha^{\beta} is a transcendental number.
This statement implies that 2^{\sqrt{2}} (the Gelfond-Schneider constant) and \sqrt{2}^{\sqrt{2}} (see nonconstructive proof) are transcendental numbers. The Gelfond-Schneider theorem is a partial answer to Hilbert's seventh problem.
