A ring homomorphism from $mathbb{C}$ to $mathbb{C}$












1














For a nontrivial homomorphism from $mathbb{C}$ to $mathbb{C}$, I know it’s invective and maps $1$ to $1$ and i to +i or -i. Then is such a map onto? I can’t go further.

          If you believe Zorn's lemma, there are lots of field maps from $Bbb C$
          to itself, not all surjective. Take a transcendence basis $A$ of $Bbb C$
          over $Bbb Q$. Then $A$ has cardinality $|Bbb C|$. Take an injection $phi:Ato A$. Then, $phi$ extends to a field map $Phi$ from $Bbb C$ to itself (this requires
          Zorn, as does the existence of $A$). If $phi$ is not surjective, neither is $Phi$.
