Stream: Is there code for X?

Topic: Isomorphism between field extension and poly ring quotient


Artie Khovanov (Jul 15 2025 at 23:39):

A finite separable field extension of a field KK is KK-isomorphic to K[X]/(f)K[X]/(f) for some irreducible polynomial ff. I think I can stitch together this fact from minpoly.equivAdjoin, Field.exists_primitive_element, IntermediateField.adjoin_simple_toSubalgebra_of_integral, and minpoly.irreducible, but is this result already somewhere in the library?

:shrug: nothing found

Junyan Xu (Jul 16 2025 at 10:25):

so probably not. If you add it you can also include that f is separable.
