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.
If r : A
and f : R[X]
are transcendental over R
, 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
transcendental over R
. In fact, the r
is also transcendental over R
provided that R
is a field (see transcendental_aeval_iff
).
An element x
is transcendental over R
if and only if the map Polynomial.aeval x
is injective. This is similar to algebraicIndependent_iff_injective_aeval
.
An element x
is transcendental over R
if and only if the kernel of the ring homomorphism
Polynomial.aeval x
is the zero ideal. This is similar to algebraicIndependent_iff_ker_eq_bot
.
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
.

and the map from R

is injective.

If x

is algebraic over S
when S
is an extension of R

and the map from R

is injective.
A special case of IsAlgebraic.extendScalars
. This is extracted as a theorem
because in some cases IsAlgebraic.extendScalars
will just runs out of memory.
