Review text

In this paper, the authors give necessary and sufficient conditions when a number field \(K\) is generated by a unit. This happens when (i) \(K\) is not a CM-field, or (ii) \(K\) is a CM-field and contains a non-real root of unity, or (iii) \(K\) is a CM-field which does not contain a non-real root of unity and is generated by \(\sqrt{-\beta}\), where \(\beta\) is a totally positive Pisot unit. Some families of number fields without a unit generator are given and several related questions are also considered.
