Classification of Algebraically closed fields

This file contains results related to classifying algebraically closed fields.

Main statements

• IsAlgClosed.equivOfTranscendenceBasis Two algebraically closed fields with the same characteristic and the same cardinality of transcendence basis are isomorphic.
• IsAlgClosed.ringEquivOfCardinalEqOfCharEq Two uncountable algebraically closed fields are isomorphic if they have the same characteristic and the same cardinality.

setting R to be ZMod (ringChar R) this result shows that if two algebraically closed fields have equipotent transcendence bases and the same characteristic then they are isomorphic.

The cardinality of an algebraically closed R-algebra is less than or equal to the maximum of of the cardinality of R, the cardinality of a transcendence basis and ℵ₀

theorem IsAlgClosed.cardinal_le_max_transcendence_basis' {R : Type u} [CommRing R] {K' : Type u} [Field K'] [Algebra R K'] [IsAlgClosed K'] {ι' : Type u} (v' : ι' → K') (hv : IsTranscendenceBasis R v') : Cardinal.mk K' ≤ Cardinal.mk R ⊔ Cardinal.mk ι' ⊔ Cardinal.aleph0

The cardinality of an algebraically closed R-algebra is less than or equal to the maximum of of the cardinality of R, the cardinality of a transcendence basis and ℵ₀

theorem IsAlgClosed.cardinal_eq_cardinal_transcendence_basis_of_aleph0_lt {R : Type u} {K : Type v} [CommRing R] [Field K] [Algebra R K] [IsAlgClosed K] {ι : Type w} (v : ι → K) [Nontrivial R] (hv : IsTranscendenceBasis R v) (hR : Cardinal.mk R ≤ Cardinal.aleph0) (hK : Cardinal.aleph0 < Cardinal.mk K) : Cardinal.lift.{w, v} (Cardinal.mk K) = Cardinal.lift.{v, w} (Cardinal.mk ι)

If K is an uncountable algebraically closed field, then its cardinality is the same as that of a transcendence basis.

theorem IsAlgClosed.cardinal_eq_cardinal_transcendence_basis_of_aleph0_lt' {R : Type u} [CommRing R] {K' : Type u} [Field K'] [Algebra R K'] [IsAlgClosed K'] {ι' : Type u} (v' : ι' → K') [Nontrivial R] (hv : IsTranscendenceBasis R v') (hR : Cardinal.mk R ≤ Cardinal.aleph0) (hK : Cardinal.aleph0 < Cardinal.mk K') : Cardinal.mk K' = Cardinal.mk ι'

If K is an uncountable algebraically closed field, then its cardinality is the same as that of a transcendence basis.
