Given a differential field F and a linear algebraic group G over the constant field C of F, find a Picard-Vessiot extension of E of F with G(E/F)=G: This isn't homework, just something I saw in a book that I was curious about. The author says that this can be shown but doesn't illustrate how...

i need what we mean by B-L extension of the Standard Model ?

Suppose that E is a field extension of F, and every polynomial f(x) in F[x] has a root in E. Then E is algebraically closed, i.e. every polynomial f(x) in E[x] has a root in E. I've been told that this result is really difficult to prove, but it seems really intuitive so I find that...

Let K be a finite group and H be a finite simple group. (A simple group is a group with no normal subgroups other than {1} and itself, sort of like a prime number.) Then the group extension problem asks us to find all the extensions of K by H: that is, to find every finite group G such that...

Hello, I have a quick question about extension fields. We know that if E is an extension field of F and if we have got an irreducible polynomial p(x) in F[x] with a root u in E, then we can construct F(u) which is the smallest subfield of E containing F and u. This by defining a homomorphism...

Greetings, comrades! In a previous thread, a user articulated a common argument: His analogy mapping knights to horses makes intuitive sense, but how can we apply this idea to two infinite sets of knights and horses? How can we treat finite and transfinite sets equal in that sense and...

Hi, I've been asked to find $[ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, i ): \mathbb{Q} ]$, and to write down a basis. Now I know that $[ \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, i ): \mathbb{Q} ] = 4$, and that a basis could be $ \left \{ 1, i, \sqrt{2}, i\sqrt{2}\right \} $ it is whether the way I am explaining how I arrived here...

Hungerford says that But if we take K = ℝ and K(x_{1}) = ℝ(i) = ℂ, we have that i is not in ℝ yet is algebraic over ℝ. Guess I'm missing something here. Is it that this need not be true for simple extensions if the primitive element is algebraic over the field?

A spring of mass M is suspended from the ceiling of a room. Find the extension in the spring due to its own weight if it has a spring constant of value k . I am getting answer as \frac{Mg}{2k} , but the answer given in back of the book is \frac{Mg}{3k}. What I did was : Let the natural...

My group did an experiment on rubber bands. The rubber bands were stretched multiple times from 50, 100 and 150 times and then a weight was attached to the rubber band to record its extension. On average the rubber band's extension increased by 10 cm after each increment of 50 stretches. I...

By F[X] I mean the polynomials with coefficients in field F. By F(X) I mean the rational polynomials. I have a feeling that \boxed{ \mathbb Q( \sqrt 2 ) \cong \frac{\mathbb Q[X]}{(X^2-2)}} . (if not readable: the RHS is with [X]) Is this true? If so, how can I prove it? I suppose it would...

Hello, Say we have field (F,+,.) and field extension (E,+,.), then the degree of the field extension (i.e. the dimension of the vector field E across the field F) is given the symbol [E:F] . But we can also see F and E as the groups (F,+) and (E,+), and then the same symbol denotes the...
