This group gathers theorems that study number fields, the algebraic integers within them, and the numbers, such as transcendental constants, that fall outside the ordinary rational and algebraic hierarchy. It covers unit groups and rings of integers in number fields, the arithmetic of elliptic curves over number fields, transcendence results such as the Lindemann-Weierstrass and Gelfond-Schneider theorems, and structural results, including the Weil conjectures, that describe how algebraic equations behave when their solutions are counted over finite fields and number fields alike.

The beginnings of algebraic number theory can be traced to Diophantine equations, named after the 3rd-century Alexandrian mathematician, Diophantus.
