Here L\mathcal{L}L is the set of logarithms of algebraic numbers (the z∈Cz \in \mathbb{C}z∈C with eze^zez algebraic), and L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L is the Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​-vector space spanned by 111 and L\mathcal{L}L. Let FFF be the subfield of C\mathbb{C}C generated by L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L, that is, by Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ and L\mathcal{L}L. Let ρ>0\rho > 0ρ>0 be a real number. Then FFF is countable, and there is u∈Cu \in \mathbb{C}u∈C with uuˉ=ρu\bar u = \rhouuˉ=ρ that is transcendental over FFF.

Proof. L\mathcal{L}L is countable: it is the union, over the countably many algebraic numbers aaa, of the fibres exp⁡−1(a)\exp^{-1}(a)exp−1(a), each a translate of 2πiZ2\pi i\mathbb{Z}2πiZ. As Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ is countable, L~\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}L, the image of the finitely supported functions from {1}∪L\{1\} \cup \mathcal{L}{1}∪L to Q‾\overline{\mathbb{Q}}Q​ under linear combination, is countable, and the subfield FFF it generates has cardinality at most max⁡(#L~,ℵ0)=ℵ0\max(\#\widetilde{\mathcal{L}}, \aleph_0) = \aleph_0max(#L,ℵ0​)=ℵ0​. The circle point is the one that DiazModulus.exists_noncandidate_transcendental_on_circle gives for this countable field, with its third conclusion (eue^ueu transcendental) dropped.

Novelty. A countability argument; routine.
