Bounds on degrees of minimal polynomials of infinite degree algebraic extension

If $E/F$ is algebraic extension of finite degree $n$, then if $\alpha \in E$ is an element, then the degree of minial polynomial $m_\alpha$ for $\alpha$ is at most $n$. Even better, $\deg m_\alpha$ ...

If $E \subseteq F=k(x_1,\ldots,x_r)$, satisfies $E(x_1^{i_1},\ldots,x_r^{i_r})=F$, for every $(i_1,\ldots,i_r) \neq (0,\ldots,0)$, then $[F:E] \leq 2$

For $r \geq 2$, let $A_r=\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_r]$, $F_r=\mathbb{C}(x_1,\ldots,x_r)$ the field of fractions of $A_r$, and $E_r \subseteq F_r$ an arbitrary subfield of $F_r$ with $[F_r:E_r] < \...

Degrees of trigonometric numbers

For a rational number $r\in(0,1)$ the number $z=\sin(r\pi)$ is an algebraic number — such numbers appear to be called trigonometric numbers. What is its degree? That is, what is the minimal degree of ...
