What is $Ext^1(overline{mathbb{Q}}^times, overline{mathbb{Q}})$ in abelian groups?
$begingroup$
I want to find a way to describe all the extensions of $overline{mathbb{Q}}^times$ by $overline{mathbb{Q}}$, i.e., all the abelian groups $A$ (and the maps $alpha$ and $beta$) that fit into the exact sequence of abelian groups
$$0 to overline{mathbb{Q}} overset{alpha}{to} A overset{beta}{to} overline{mathbb{Q}}^times to 0.$$
Of course $A:=overline{mathbb{Q}} times overline{mathbb{Q}}^times$ with the obvious maps works, but that's always the case. I was thinking about using the exponential map, but the problem is that the exponential of an algebraic number is in general not algebraic...
I could also compute $Ext^1(overline{mathbb{Q}}^times, overline{mathbb{Q}})$ using resolutions, but I am not sure whether this is easier...

Both groups are divisible, hence injective. Since $bar{mathbb Q}$ is injective $Ext^1(-,bar{mathbb Q}) = 0$, and there are no other extensions. (There are actually no extensions the other way either.)
