Abstract
We characterize all algebraic numbers of degree for which there exist four distinct algebraic conjugates , , , of satisfying the relation . In particular, we prove that an algebraic number of degree 6 satisfies this relation with if and only if is the sum of a quadratic and a cubic algebraic number. Moreover, we describe all possible Galois groups of the normal closure of for such algebraic numbers . We also consider similar relations and for algebraic numbers of degree up to 7.
