Re: Characterising subrings of the complex numbers

Is there a straightforward algebraic characterisation of the subrings

characteristic 0, have 0=/=1, and be without zero divisors (so ab=0
implies a=0 or b=0). But in particular this still leaves polynomial
rings, which are not subrings of the complex numbers.

Hm, what if we take the subring Q[e], or C[e], where e is the base of
the natural log? That are polynomial rings, right?
