Let \(\rho: E \rightarrow E^{\prime}\) be an \(F\) -algebra homomorphism, let \(\alpha \in E,\) let \(\phi\) be the minimal polynomial of \(\alpha\) over \(F,\) and let \(\phi^{\prime}\) be the minimal polynomial of \(\rho(\alpha)\) over \(F\). Show that \(\phi^{\prime} \mid \phi,\) and that \(\phi^{\prime}=\phi\) if \(\rho\) is injective.

If 饾湆 is injective, are 饾湋 and 饾湋' equal? Answer: Yes, the minimal polynomial 饾湋' divides the minimal polynomial 饾湋. In addition, if 饾湆 is injective, then 饾湋' and 饾湋 are equal.

Step by step solution

01

Recall the definitions of homomorphism, minimal polynomial, and injective function

We need to recall these concepts as they will be used throughout the solution: 1. A homomorphism \(\rho: E \rightarrow E^{\prime}\) is a function that preserves the algebraic structure, meaning that: - \(\rho(x+y) = \rho(x) + \rho(y)\) and - \(\rho(xy) = \rho(x)\rho(y)\) for all \(x, y \in E\). 2. The minimal polynomial \(\phi\) of \(\alpha\) over a field \(F\) is the monic polynomial of smallest degree that has coefficients in \(F\) and \(\phi(\alpha) = 0.\) 3. An injective function (also called one-to-one) is a function that maps distinct elements of its domain to distinct elements of its codomain.
02

Apply the homomorphism to the minimal polynomial

Applying the homomorphism \(\rho\) to the equation \(\phi(\alpha) = 0\), we get: $$\rho(\phi(\alpha)) = \rho(0)$$ Using the properties of homomorphism, we can write: $$\phi(\rho(\alpha)) = \rho(0) = 0$$ This shows that \(\rho(\alpha)\) is a root of \(\phi\).
03

Show that \(\phi^{\prime}\) divides \(\phi\)

From Step 2, we've shown that \(\phi(\rho(\alpha)) = 0\). Thus, \(\rho(\alpha)\) is a root of the polynomial \(\phi\). We know that \(\phi^{\prime}\) is the minimal polynomial of \(\rho(\alpha)\) over \(F\), meaning it is the polynomial of the smallest degree with coefficients in \(F\) such that \(\phi^{\prime}(\rho(\alpha)) = 0\). Since \(\rho(\alpha)\) is a root of \(\phi\), the polynomial \(\phi\) can be expressed as the product of \(\phi^{\prime}\) and a polynomial \(g\): $$\phi = \phi^{\prime}g$$ Therefore, \(\phi^{\prime}\) divides \(\phi\).
04

Show that \(\phi^{\prime} = \phi\) if \(\rho\) is injective

Suppose that \(\rho\) is injective. If \(\phi^{\prime}\) strictly divides \(\phi\), meaning that \(g\) is not a constant polynomial, then \(g(\alpha) = 0\) since \(\phi(\alpha) = 0\). Now, let's consider the equation \(\phi^{\prime}(\rho(\alpha)) = 0\). Since \(\rho\) is injective, \(\rho(\alpha_1) = \rho(\alpha_2)\) implies \(\alpha_1 = \alpha_2\). Thus, the minimal polynomial \(\phi^{\prime}\) of \(\rho(\alpha)\) must have the same degree as the minimal polynomial \(\phi\) of \(\alpha\). In other words, the degrees of \(\phi\) and \(\phi^{\prime}\) must be equal, which implies that \(g\) must be a constant polynomial. Consequently, \(\phi^{\prime} = \phi\) when \(\rho\) is injective. We have now shown that \(\phi^{\prime}\) divides \(\phi\), and \(\phi^{\prime} = \phi\) if \(\rho\) is injective, as desired.

Consider the real numbers \(\sqrt{2}\) and \(\sqrt[3]{2}\). Show that \((\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2}, \sqrt[3]{2}]: \mathbb{Q})=(\mathbb{Q}[\sqrt{2}+\sqrt[3]{2}]: \mathbb{Q})=6\)

In Exercise 16.41, we saw that 2 factors as \(-i(1+i)^{2}\) in \(\mathbb{Z}[i]\), 16.9 Unique factorization domains (*) where \(1+i\) is irreducible. This exercise examines the factorization in \(\mathbb{Z}[i]\) of prime numbers \(p>2\). Show that: (a) for every irreducible \(\pi \in \mathbb{Z}[i],\) there exists a unique prime number \(p\) such that \(\pi\) divides \(p\); (b) for all prime numbers \(p \equiv 1(\bmod 4),\) we have \(p=\pi \bar{\pi},\) where \(\pi \in \mathbb{Z}[i]\) is irreducible, and the complex conjugate \(\bar{\pi}\) of \(\pi\) is also irreducible and not associate to \(\pi\); (c) all prime numbers \(p \equiv 3(\bmod 4)\) are irreducible in \(\mathbb{Z}[i]\).
