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.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

Supply the splitting field generated by the roots of the polynomial under study.

How to interpret this relation type

Feed several structures into a construction junction and impose compatibility between them.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

A splitting field of a family of polynomials over the base field is algebraic and normal over that field; forgetting the chosen polynomials leaves the normal extension.

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.
