Solution to Exercise 26.18 Show that each homomorphism
... Proof. Suppose we have a homomorphism φ : F → R where F is a field and R is a ring (for example R itself could be a field). The exercise asks us to show that either the kernel of φ is equal to {0} (in which case φ will be injective) or to F (meaning precisely that φ(x) = 0 for all x ∈ F ). The field ...

... [3]. It’s important that if p is a sum of squares of rational functions in this way, then necessarily p(x, y) ≥ 0 for every x and y, so a representation of p as a sums of squares gives a “certificate” that p takes only non-negative values. In conclusion: for a polynomial p, taking only non-negative ...

... Theorem 1.1 The cardinality of F is pn where n = [F : Fp] and Fp denotes the prime subfield of F. Proof. The prime subfield Fp of F is isomorphic to the field Z/pZ of integers mod p. Since the field F is an n-dimensional vector space over Fp for some finite n, it is set-isomorphic to Fpn and thus ha ...

(Every α ∈ E is a root of some polynomial f (x) = a0 + a1 x + a2 x2 + · · · + an xn ∈ F [x], which has at most n different roots in E.) In order to get even more elements, we take the powerset P(S) of S and recall t ...
