Splitting fields #

In this file we prove the existence and uniqueness of splitting fields.

Main definitions #

Main statements #

Implementation details #

We construct a SplittingFieldAux without worrying about whether the instances satisfy nice definitional equalities. Then the actual SplittingField is defined to be a quotient of a MvPolynomial ring by the kernel of the obvious map into SplittingFieldAux. Because the actual SplittingField will be a quotient of a MvPolynomial, it has nice instances on it.

def Polynomial.factor {K : Type v} [Field K] (f : Polynomial K) :

Non-computably choose an irreducible factor from a polynomial.

    See note [fact non-instances].

    Divide a polynomial f by X - C r where r is a root of f in a bigger field extension.

      def Polynomial.SplittingFieldAuxAux (n : ) {K : Type u} [Field K] :
      Polynomial K(L : Type u) × (x : Field L) × Algebra K L

      Auxiliary construction to a splitting field of a polynomial, which removes n (arbitrarily-chosen) factors.

      It constructs the type, proves that is a field and algebra over the base field.

      Uses recursion on the degree.

        def Polynomial.SplittingFieldAux (n : ) {K : Type u} [Field K] (f : Polynomial K) :

        Auxiliary construction to a splitting field of a polynomial, which removes n (arbitrarily-chosen) factors. It is the type constructed in SplittingFieldAuxAux.
