Kummer Extensions

Main result

• isCyclic_tfae: Suppose L/K is a finite extension of dimension n, and K contains all n-th roots of unity. Then L/K is cyclic iff L is a splitting field of some irreducible polynomial of the form Xⁿ - a : K[X] iff L = K[α] for some αⁿ ∈ K.

• autEquivRootsOfUnity: Given an instance IsSplittingField K L (X ^ n - C a) (perhaps via isSplittingField_X_pow_sub_C_of_root_adjoin_eq_top), then the galois group is isomorphic to rootsOfUnity n K, by sending σ ↦ σ α / α for α ^ n = a, and the inverse is given by μ ↦ (α ↦ μ • α).

• autEquivZmod: Furthermore, given an explicit choice ζ of a primitive n-th root of unity, the galois group is then isomorphic to Multiplicative (ZMod n) whose inverse is given by i ↦ (α ↦ ζⁱ • α).

Other results

Criteria for X ^ n - C a to be irreducible is given:

• X_pow_sub_C_irreducible_iff_of_prime: For n = p a prime, X ^ n - C a is irreducible iff a is not a p-power.
• X_pow_sub_C_irreducible_iff_of_prime_pow: For n = p ^ k an odd prime power, X ^ n - C a is irreducible iff a is not a p-power.
• X_pow_sub_C_irreducible_iff_forall_prime_of_odd: For n odd, X ^ n - C a is irreducible iff a is not a p-power for all prime p ∣ n.
• X_pow_sub_C_irreducible_iff_of_odd: For n odd, X ^ n - C a is irreducible iff a is not a d-power for d ∣ n and d ≠ 1.
