We show that the field Q(x, y), generated by two singular moduli x and y, is generated by their sum x + y, unless x and y are conjugate over Q, in which case x + y generates a subfield of degree at most 2. We obtain a similar result for the product of two singular moduli. CDC, the IRN GandA (CNRS) and the ALGANT Program. Our calculations were performed using the PARI/GP package [9].
