Binomial equations over the Puiseux field #
This file computes the roots of the binomials Y ^ n - a t ^ (n * q) in the Puiseux field
puiseuxField K whenever K contains a primitive n-th root of unity: they are the monomials
ζ ^ i b t ^ q with b ^ n = a. This covers the roots ζ ^ i t ^ (1 / n) of Y ^ n - t, whose
leading order 1 / n is fractional, and the branches t ± t ^ (3 / 2) of (Y - t) ^ 2 = t ^ 3,
which share the initial term t.
Main results #
TauCeti.puiseuxField.pow_eq_single_iff: the solutions ofy ^ n = a t ^ (n * q).TauCeti.puiseuxField.pow_eq_single_one_iff: the solutions ofy ^ n = t.TauCeti.puiseuxField.sub_single_sq_eq_single_iff: the solutions of(y - t) ^ 2 = t ^ 3.
If K contains a primitive n-th root of unity ζ and b ^ n = a, then the solutions of
y ^ n = a t ^ (n * q) in the Puiseux field are the monomials ζ ^ i b t ^ q for i < n.
If K contains a primitive n-th root of unity ζ, then the roots of Y ^ n - t in the
Puiseux field are the monomials ζ ^ i t ^ (1 / n) for i < n.
The solutions of (Y - t) ^ 2 = t ^ 3 in the Puiseux field are the branches
t ± t ^ (3 / 2), which share the initial term t.
