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
.
