ABSTRACT This paper contains an alternate proof of the Schanuel Nullstellensatz for Zilber's Pseudoexponentiation. Furthermore, in an algebraically closed exponential field whose exponential map is surjective with standard kernel, this property follows from the field being exponentially algebraically closed.

##### Article: Schanuel's Conjecture and Algebraic Roots of Exponential Polynomials
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper we prove that assuming Schanuel's conjecture, an exponential polynomial in one variable over the algebraic numbers has only finitely many algebraic solutions. This implies a positive answer to Shapiro's conjecture for exponential polynomials over the algebraic numbers for pseudoexponential fields as well as for any algebraically closed exponential field satisfying Schanuel's conjecture.

##### Article: Finitely Presented Exponential Fields
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The algebra of exponential fields and their extensions is developed. The focus is on ELA-fields, which are algebraically closed with a surjective exponential map. In this context, finitely presented extensions are defined, it is shown that finitely generated strong extensions are finitely presented, and these extensions are classified. An algebraic construction is given of Zilber's pseudo-exponential fields. As applications of the general results and methods of the paper, it is shown that Zilber's fields are not model-complete, answering a question of Macintyre, and a precise statement is given explaining how Schanuel's conjecture answers all transcendence questions about exponentials and logarithms. Connections with the Kontsevich-Zagier, Grothendieck, and Andr\'e transcendence conjectures on periods are discussed, and finally some open problems are suggested.
