Algebraic Closure

In this file we construct the algebraic closure of a field

Main Definitions

• AlgebraicClosure k is an algebraic closure of k (in the same universe). It is constructed by taking the polynomial ring generated by indeterminates $X_{f,1}, \dots, X_{f,\deg f}$ corresponding to roots of monic irreducible polynomials f with coefficients in k, and quotienting out by a maximal ideal containing every $f - \prod_i (X - X_{f,i})$. The proof follows https://kconrad.math.uconn.edu/blurbs/galoistheory/algclosureshorter.pdf.

def AlgebraicClosure.Monics (k : Type u) [Field k] : Type u

The subtype of monic polynomials.

def AlgebraicClosure.Vars (k : Type u) [Field k] : Type u

Vars k provides n variables $X_{f,1}, \dots, X_{f,n}$ for each monic polynomial f : k[X] of degree n.

def AlgebraicClosure.subProdXSubC {k : Type u} [Field k] (f : Monics k) : Polynomial (MvPolynomial (Vars k) k)

Given a monic polynomial f : k[X], subProdXSubC f is the polynomial $f - \prod_i (X - X_{f,i})$.

def AlgebraicClosure.spanCoeffs (k : Type u) [Field k] : Ideal (MvPolynomial (Vars k) k)
