Multivariate polynomials over commutative rings

This file contains basic facts about multivariate polynomials over commutative rings, for example that the monomials form a basis.

Main definitions

• restrictTotalDegree σ R m: the subspace of multivariate polynomials indexed by σ over the commutative ring R of total degree at most m.
• restrictDegree σ R m: the subspace of multivariate polynomials indexed by σ over the commutative ring R such that the degree in each individual variable is at most m.

Main statements

• The multivariate polynomial ring over a commutative semiring of characteristic p has characteristic p, and similarly for CharZero.
• basisMonomials: shows that the monomials form a basis of the vector space of multivariate polynomials.
