Commutative ringPolynomial ring

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Form finite formal sums in a variable with coefficients in the ring.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

A polynomial ring over a commutative coefficient ring is itself commutative.

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.

Polynomial ringSplitting field

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Choose a polynomial or family over the base field and a field generated by all of its roots. The resulting splitting field is unique up to base-field isomorphism, not as a literally canonical subfield without an ambient algebraic closure.

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.
