Relative Algebraic Closure #
In this file we construct the relative algebraic closure of a field extension.
Main Definitions #
algebraicClosure F E
is the relative algebraic closure (i.e. the maximal algebraic subextension) of the field extensionE / F
, which is defined to be the integral closure ofF
inE
.
The relative algebraic closure of a field F
in a field extension E
,
also called the maximal algebraic subextension of E / F
,
is defined to be the subalgebra integralClosure F E
upgraded to an intermediate field (since F
and E
are both fields).
This is exactly the intermediate field of E / F
consisting of all integral/algebraic elements.
Equations
Instances For
An element is contained in the algebraic closure of F
in E
if and only if
it is an integral element.
An element is contained in the algebraic closure of F
in E
if and only if
it is an algebraic element.
If i
is an F
-algebra homomorphism from E
to K
, then i x
is contained in
algebraicClosure F K
if and only if x
is contained in algebraicClosure F E
.
If i
is an F
-algebra homomorphism from E
to K

algebraicClosure F K

is equal to algebraicClosure F E
.
If i
is an F
-algebra homomorphism from E
to K
, then the image of algebraicClosure F E
under the map i
is contained in algebraicClosure F K
.
If K / E / F
is a field extension tower, such that K / E
has no non-trivial algebraic
subextensions (this means that it is purely transcendental),
then the image of algebraicClosure F E
in K
is equal to algebraicClosure F K
.
If i
is an F
-algebra isomorphism of E
and K
, then the image of algebraicClosure F E
under the map i
is equal to algebraicClosure F K
.
If E
and K
are isomorphic as F
-algebras, then algebraicClosure F E
and
algebraicClosure F K
are also isomorphic as F
-algebras.
