Automorphism-killing subset of the complex numbers closed under both addition and multiplication

42 Views Asked by At

It is well known that there are wild automorphisms of the complex numbers, and that defining the topology on the complex numbers gets rid of all these wild automorphisms. Using this fact, I proved that any nontrivial automorphism of the field of complex numbers does not preserve the set of complex numbers with positive imaginary part, a set closed under addition (By "preserve" a subset I mean that the image of the subset under the automorphism should be the subset itself). I also proved that any nontrivial automorphism of the field of complex numbers does not preserve the set of complex numbers that is a semicircular arc with radius $0.5$ combined with a filled circle of radius $0.25$ centered at the origin, a set closed under multiplication.

My question: is there any such automorphism-killing subset of the complex numbers that is closed under both addition and multiplication?
