Extension of field embeddings #
IntermediateField.exists_algHom_of_adjoin_splits' is the main result: if E/L/F is a tower of
field extensions, K is another extension of F, and f is an embedding of L/F into K/F, such
that the minimal polynomials of a set of generators of E/L splits in K (via f), then f
extends to an embedding of E/F into K/F.

A chain of lifts has an upper bound.
Given a lift x and an integral element s : E over x.carrier whose conjugates over
x.carrier are all in K, we can extend the lift to a lift whose carrier contains s.
Given an integral element s : E over F whose F-conjugates are all in K,
any lift can be extended to one whose carrier contains s.
Let K/F be an algebraic extension of fields and L a field in which all the minimal
polynomial over F of elements of K splits. Then, for x ∈ K, the images of x by the
F-algebra morphisms from K to L are exactly the roots in L of the minimal polynomial
of x over F.
