Fields generated by sums and products of singular moduli

Number Theory 2018-01-23 v2

Abstract

We show that the field Q(x,y)\mathbb{Q}(x,y), generated by two singular moduli~xx and~yy, is generated by their sum x+y{x+y}, unless~xx and~yy are conjugate over~Q\mathbb{Q}, in which case x+y{x+y} generates a subfield of degree at most~22. We obtain a similar result for the product of two singular moduli.
