Minimal polynomials over a GCD monoid

This file specializes the theory of minpoly to the case of an algebra over a GCD monoid.

Main results

• minpoly.isIntegrallyClosed_eq_field_fractions: For integrally closed domains, the minimal polynomial over the ring is the same as the minimal polynomial over the fraction field.

• minpoly.isIntegrallyClosed_dvd: For integrally closed domains, the minimal polynomial divides any primitive polynomial that has the integral element as root.

• IsIntegrallyClosed.Minpoly.unique: The minimal polynomial of an element x is uniquely characterized by its defining property: if there is another monic polynomial of minimal degree that has x as a root, then this polynomial is equal to the minimal polynomial of x.

theorem minpoly.isIntegrallyClosed_eq_field_fractions {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [CommRing R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain R] [Algebra R S] (K : Type u_3) (L : Type u_4) [Field K] [Algebra R K] [IsFractionRing R K] [CommRing L] [Nontrivial L] [Algebra R L] [Algebra S L] [Algebra K L] [IsScalarTower R K L] [IsScalarTower R S L] [IsIntegrallyClosed R] [IsDomain S] {s : S} (hs : IsIntegral R s) : minpoly K ((algebraMap S L) s) = Polynomial.map (algebraMap R K) (minpoly R s)

For integrally closed domains, the minimal polynomial over the ring is the same as the minimal polynomial over the fraction field. See minpoly.isIntegrallyClosed_eq_field_fractions' if S is already a K-algebra.

For integrally closed domains, the minimal polynomial over the ring is the same as the minimal polynomial over the fraction field. Compared to minpoly.isIntegrallyClosed_eq_field_fractions, this version is useful if the element is in a ring that is already a K-algebra.

theorem minpoly.isIntegrallyClosed_dvd {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [CommRing R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain R] [Algebra R S] [IsDomain S] [NoZeroSMulDivisors R S] [IsIntegrallyClosed R] {s : S} (hs : IsIntegral R s) {p : Polynomial R} (hp : (Polynomial.aeval s) p = 0) : minpoly R s ∣ p

For integrally closed rings, the minimal polynomial divides any polynomial that has the integral element as root. See also minpoly.dvd which relaxes the assumptions on S in exchange for stronger assumptions on R.

theorem minpoly.IsIntegrallyClosed.degree_le_of_ne_zero {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [CommRing R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain R] [Algebra R S] [IsDomain S] [NoZeroSMulDivisors R S] [IsIntegrallyClosed R] {s : S} (hs : IsIntegral R s) {p : Polynomial R} (hp0 : p ≠ 0) (hp : (Polynomial.aeval s) p = 0) : (minpoly R s).degree ≤ p.degree

If an element x is a root of a nonzero polynomial p, then the degree of p is at least the degree of the minimal polynomial of x. See also minpoly.degree_le_of_ne_zero which relaxes the assumptions on S in exchange for stronger assumptions on R.

theorem IsIntegrallyClosed.minpoly.unique {R : Type u_1} {S : Type u_2} [CommRing R] [CommRing S] [IsDomain R] [Algebra R S] [IsDomain S] [NoZeroSMulDivisors R S] [IsIntegrallyClosed R] {s : S} {P : Polynomial R} (hmo : P.Monic) (hP : (Polynomial.aeval s) P = 0) (Pmin : ∀ (Q : Polynomial R), Q.Monic → (Polynomial.aeval s) Q = 0 → P.degree ≤ Q.degree) : P = minpoly R s

The minimal polynomial of an element x is uniquely characterized by its defining property: if there is another monic polynomial of minimal degree that has x as a root, then this polynomial is equal to the minimal polynomial of x. See also minpoly.unique which relaxes the assumptions on S in exchange for stronger assumptions on R.
