Algebraic Independence

This file defines algebraic independence of a family of elements of an R algebra.

Main definitions

• AlgebraicIndependent - AlgebraicIndependent R x states the family of elements x is algebraically independent over R, meaning that the canonical map out of the multivariable polynomial ring is injective.

• AlgebraicIndependent.aevalEquiv - The canonical isomorphism from the polynomial ring to the subalgebra generated by an algebraic independent family.

• AlgebraicIndependent.repr - The canonical map from the subalgebra generated by an algebraic independent family into the polynomial ring. It is the inverse of AlgebraicIndependent.aevalEquiv.

• IsTranscendenceBasis R x - a family x is a transcendence basis over R if it is a maximal algebraically independent subset.

Main results

We show that algebraic independence is preserved under injective maps of the indices.
