Algebraic elements and algebraic extensions #
An element of an R-algebra is algebraic over R if it is the root of a nonzero polynomial. An R-algebra is algebraic over R if and only if all its elements are algebraic over R. The main result in this file proves transitivity of algebraicity: a tower of algebraic field extensions is algebraic.
An element of an R-algebra is algebraic over R if it is a root of a nonzero polynomial with coefficients in R.
Equations
- IsAlgebraic R x = ∃ (p : Polynomial R), p ≠ 0 ∧ (Polynomial.aeval x) p = 0
Instances For
An element of an R-algebra is transcendental over R if it is not algebraic over R.
Equations
- Transcendental R x = ¬IsAlgebraic R x
Instances For
An element x
is transcendental over R
if and only if for any polynomial p
,
Polynomial.aeval x p = 0
implies p = 0
. This is similar to algebraicIndependent_iff
.
If r : A
and f : R[X]

, then Polynomial.aeval r f
is also
transcendental over R
. For the converse, see Transcendental.of_aeval
and
transcendental_aeval_iff
.
If Polynomial.aeval r f
is transcendental over R
, then f : R[X]
is also

is a field (see transcendental_aeval_iff
).
If E / F
is a field extension, x
is an element of E
transcendental over F
,

A subalgebra is algebraic if and only if it is algebraic as an algebra.
An algebra is algebraic if and only if it is algebraic as a subalgebra.
An element x

An element x

An element of R
is algebraic, when viewed as an element of the R
-algebra A
.
This is slightly more general than IsAlgebraic.algebraMap
in that it
allows noncommutative intermediate rings A
.

An element of an algebra over a field is algebraic if and only if it is integral.
Alias of the forward direction of isAlgebraic_iff_isIntegral
.
An element of an algebra over a field is algebraic if and only if it is integral.
This used to be an alias
of Algebra.isAlgebraic_iff_isIntegral
but that would make
Algebra.IsAlgebraic K A
an explicit parameter instead of instance implicit.

If K
