A note on the transport of (near-)field structures
This paper addresses the question: given a scalar group, can we determine all the additions that transform this scalar group into a (near-)field? A key approach to addressing this problem involves transporting (near-)field structures via multiplicative automorphisms. We compute the set of continuous multiplicative automorphisms of the real and complex fields and analyze their structures. Additionally, we characterize the endo-bijections on the scalar group that define these additions.
