Fields whose embeddings into the complex numbers are invariant under complex conjugation

The only fields with this property are algebraic over $\mathbb{Q}$. They are either totally real or a quadratic imaginary extension of a totally real field (but not necessarily finite). … Proof: Note that if a field $L$ satisfies your condition, then any subfield $K$ such that $L/K$ is algebraic also satisfies the condition (embeddings into alg. closed fields can always be extended to embeddings …
