Review text

This paper surveys various results that generalize Hilbert's Seventh Problem, on the transcendence of \(\alpha^\beta\), and its solution. The author emphasizes two main threads: linear forms of logarithms of algebraic numbers and algebraic independence. Classical theorems (such as those of Baker, to whom the article is a 60th birthday tribute), recent theorems (such as the settling of Catalan's Conjecture), and still open problems (such as the \(abc\) Conjecture) all make appearances. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1072.01002].
