Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A field extension records an embedding of a base field into a larger field.

How to interpret this relation type

Equip an existing carrier or structured object with additional chosen data, when such compatible data exists. Use a construction junction when several independently meaningful inputs must coexist on the same carrier or interact compatibly.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Every element of the larger field must satisfy a nonzero polynomial over the base.

How to interpret this relation type

Keep the existing data and select the subclass satisfying an additional law, existence condition, finiteness condition, or other property.

Field extensionVector space

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

For a field extension L/KL/K, scalar multiplication by KK makes LL a vector space over KK; its dimension is the extension degree.

How to interpret this relation type

Pass canonically from a stronger object to structure it determines, or forget part of the data while retaining a valid weaker structure. The carrier may change under a canonical induced construction.
