Split polynomials #
A polynomial f : K[X]
splits over a field extension L
of K
if it is zero or all of its
irreducible factors over L
have degree 1
.
Main definitions #
Polynomial.Splits i f
: A predicate on a homomorphismi : K →+* L
from a commutative ring to a field and a polynomialf
saying thatf.map i
is zero or all of its irreducible factors overL
have degree1
.
Main statements #
lift_of_splits
: IfK
andL
are field extensions of a fieldF
and for some finite subsetS
ofK
, the minimal polynomial of everyx ∈ K
splits as a polynomial with coefficients inL
, thenAlgebra.adjoin F S
embeds intoL

A polynomial Splits
iff it is zero or all of its irreducible factors have degree
1.
Equations
- Polynomial.Splits i f = (Polynomial.map i f = 0 ∨ ∀ {g : Polynomial L}, Irreducible g → g ∣ Polynomial.map i f → Polynomial.degree g = 1)
Instances For
Pick a root of a polynomial that splits. See rootOfSplits
for polynomials over a field
which has simpler assumptions.

A polynomial splits if and only if it has as many roots as its degree.
If P
is a monic polynomial that splits, then coeff P 0
equals the product of the roots.
If P
is a monic polynomial that splits, then P.nextCoeff
equals the sum of the roots.
