Archimedean places of a number field

1.5k Views Asked by At

Let $K$ be a number field with an Archimedean absolute value $|\cdot |$ and let $\bar{K}$ be the completion of $K$ wrt this valuation. Then $\bar{K}\cong \mathbb R $ or $\mathbb C$.

My question is:

Does this imply that the Archimedean places of $K$ correspond bijectively to the real embeddings $K\hookrightarrow \mathbb R$ and complex conjugate pairs of embeddings $K\hookrightarrow \mathbb C$?

Are there other ways to show this?

Thank you for your help!
