Relative Algebraic Closure #

In this file we construct the relative algebraic closure of a field extension.

Main Definitions #

def algebraicClosure (F : Type u_1) (E : Type u_2) [Field F] [Field E] [Algebra F E] :

The relative algebraic closure of a field F in a field extension E, also called the maximal algebraic subextension of E / F, is defined to be the subalgebra integralClosure F E upgraded to an intermediate field (since F and E are both fields). This is exactly the intermediate field of E / F consisting of all integral/algebraic elements.
