Abstract:
Following earlier work by É. Maillet 100 years ago, we introduce the definition of a Liouville set, which extends the definition of a Liouville number. We also define a Liouville field, which is a field generated by a Liouville set. Any Liouville number belongs to a Liouville set $\mathsf {S}$ having the power of continuum and such that $\mathbf {Q}\cup \mathsf {S}$ is a Liouville field.References
