(a) Let K be an algebraically closed field extension of F. Show that the algebraic closure of F in K is an algebraic closure of F.
What is algebraic closure of F in K? The definition of algebraic closure is:
If K is an algebraic extension of F and is algebraically closed, then K is said to be an algebraic closure of F
In this case, K is more than algebraic extension so, what algebraically closed extension? I'm a little confused by this.
(b) If A={a∈C|ais algebraic overQ}, then, assuming that C is algebraically closed, show that A is an algebraic closure of Q.
I imagine that C is an algebraically closed field extension of Q and A is the algebraic closure of Q in C.
So, I would like some help to understand these definitions for can answer the two items. Thanks for the advance!
It may be useful to put some definitions:
Lema 1. If K is a field, then the following statements are equivalente:
- There are no algebraic extensions of K other than K itself.
- There are no finite extensions of K other than K itself.
- If L is a field extension of K, then K={a∈L|ais algebraic overK}.
- Every f(x)∈K[x] splits over K.
- Every f(x)∈K[x] has a root in K.
- Every irreducible polynomial over K has degree 1.
Definition 1. If K satisfies the equivalent conditions of Lema 1, then K is said to be algebraically closed.
