Ramified Laurent levels as radical extensions #
For a field K and a positive integer d, the parameter u of the ramified Laurent level
K⸨u⸩ satisfies u ^ d = X, where X is the parameter of the base Laurent field K⸨X⸩.
The power basis of the level shows that T ^ d - X is the minimal polynomial of u, hence is
irreducible over K⸨X⸩. Thus both the wrapped level and its actual image inside the Puiseux field
are obtained by adjoining this root.
These identifications provide the radical-extension presentation of finite Puiseux levels needed to apply Kummer and splitting-field results.
Main results #
TauCeti.LaurentSeries.Level.minpoly_parameter: the level parameter has minimal polynomialT ^ d - X.TauCeti.LaurentSeries.irreducible_X_pow_sub_C_single:T ^ d - Xis irreducible over the Laurent-series field.TauCeti.puiseuxField.level_eq_adjoin: the actual level-dsubfield is generated by its distinguished parameter.
The minimal polynomial of the level parameter u is T ^ d - X.
The wrapped ramified level is generated over the base Laurent field by its parameter.
The radical polynomial T ^ d - X is irreducible over the Laurent-series field.
The actual level parameter is a d-th root of the base Laurent parameter.
The level parameter t ^ (1 / d), viewed in the Puiseux field, is a d-th root of the base
Laurent parameter.
The minimal polynomial of the actual level parameter is T ^ d - X.
Internally, the actual level is generated over the base Laurent field by its parameter.
As intermediate fields of the Puiseux field, level d is obtained by adjoining its
distinguished parameter.
