Extension of field embeddings #
IntermediateField.exists_algHom_of_adjoin_splits'
is the main result: if E/L/F is a tower of
field extensions, K is another extension of F, and f
is an embedding of L/F into K/F, such
that the minimal polynomials of a set of generators of E/L splits in K (via f
), then f
extends to an embedding of E/F into K/F.

A chain of lifts has an upper bound.
Given a lift x
and an integral element s : E
over x.carrier
whose conjugates over
x.carrier
are all in K
, we can extend the lift to a lift whose carrier contains s
.
Given an integral element s : E
over F
whose F
-conjugates are all in K
,
any lift can be extended to one whose carrier contains s
.
Let K/F
be an algebraic extension of fields and L
a field in which all the minimal
polynomial over F
of elements of K
splits. Then, for x ∈ K
, the images of x
by the
F
-algebra morphisms from K
to L
are exactly the roots in L
of the minimal polynomial
of x
over F
.
