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.
