Field extensions

Field extension

In mathematics, particularly in algebra, a field extension is a pair of fields such that the operations of E are those of F restricted to E. In this case, F is an extension field of E and E is a subfield of F. For example, under the usual notions of addition and multiplication, the complex numbers are an extension field of the real numbers; the real numbers are a subfield of the complex numbers. Field extensions are fundamental in algebraic number theory, and in the study of polynomial roots through Galois theory, and are widely used in algebraic geometry. (Wikipedia).

FIT2.1. Field Extensions

Field Theory: Let F be a subfield of the field K. We consider K as a vector space over F and define the degree of K over F as the dimension. We give a degree formula for successive extensions, and consider extensions in terms of bases. EDIT: Typo - around 3:15, it should be cube root(2

Field Definition (expanded) - Abstract Algebra

The field is one of the key objects you will learn about in abstract algebra. Fields generalize the real numbers and complex numbers. They are sets with two operations that come with all the features you could wish for: commutativity, inverses, identities, associativity, and more. They

FIT2.3.3. Algebraic Extensions

Field Theory: We define an algebraic extension of a field F and show that successive algebraic extensions are also algebraic. This gives a useful criterion for checking algberaic elements. We finish with algebraic closures.

Basic/Primitive Extensions and Minimal Polynomials - Field Theory - Lecture 02

A "basic" or "primitive" extension of a field F is a new field F(alpha) where alpha in K an extension of F. We give some basic properties of extensions. Most importantly introduce the concept of minimal polynomials. @MatthewSalomone has some good videos on this already which might be mor

FIT2.2. Simple Extensions

Field Theory: We consider the case of simple extensions, where we adjoin a single element to a given field. The cases of transcendental and algebraic arise, depending on whether the kernel of the evaluation map is zero or not. In the algebraic case, we define the minimal polynomial, show

Pushing back the barrier of imperfection - F-V. Kuhlmann - Workshop 2 - CEB T1 2018

Franz-Viktor Kuhlmann (Szczecin) / 06.03.2018 The word “imperfection” in our title not only refers to fields that are not perfect, but also to the defect of valued field extensions. The latter is not necessarily directly connected with imperfect fields but may always appear when at least

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.5: Galois group actions and normal field extensions

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.5: Galois group actions and normal field extensions If f(x) has a root in an extension field F of Q, then any automorphism of F permutes the roots of f(x). This means that there is a group action of Gal(f(x)) on the roots of f(x), and this action has only on

Galois theory: Galois extensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We define Galois extensions in 5 different ways, and show that 4 f these conditions are equivalent. (The 5th equivalence will be proved in a later lecture.) We use this to show that any finite group is the Galois group of

Galois theory: Normal extensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We define normal extensions of fields by three equivalent conditions, and give some examples of normal and non-normal extensions. In particular we show that a normal extension of a normal extension need not be normal.
