Algebraic Closure #
In this file we construct the algebraic closure of a field
Main Definitions #
algebraic_closure k
is an algebraic closure ofk
(in the same universe). It is constructed by taking the polynomial ring generated by indeterminatesx_f
corresponding to monic irreducible polynomialsf
with coefficients ink
, and quotienting out by a maximal ideal containing everyf(x_f)
, and then repeating this step countably many times. See Exercise 1.13 in Atiyah--Macdonald.
