Krull topology #
We define the Krull topology on L ≃ₐ[K] L for an arbitrary field extension L/K. In order to do
this, we first define a GroupFilterBasis on L ≃ₐ[K] L, whose sets are E.fixingSubgroup for
all intermediate fields E with E/K finite dimensional.
Main Definitions #
-
finiteExts K L. Given a field extensionL/K, this is the set of intermediate fields that are finite-dimensional overK. -
fixedByFinite K L. Given a field extensionL/K,fixedByFinite K Lis the set of subsetsGal(L/E)ofGal(L/K), whereE/Kis finite -
galBasis K L. Given a field extensionL/K, this is the filter basis onL ≃ₐ[K] Lwhose sets areGal(L/E)for intermediate fieldsEwithE/Kfinite. -
galGroupBasis K L. This is the same asgalBasis K L, but with the added structure that it is a group filter basis onL ≃ₐ[K] L, rather than just a filter basis. -
krullTopology K L. Given a field extensionL/K, this is the topology onL ≃ₐ[K] L, induced by the group filter basisgalGroupBasis K L.
Main Results #
-
krullTopology_t2 K L. For an integral field extensionL/K, the topologykrullTopology K Lis Hausdorff. -
krullTopology_totallyDisconnected K L. For an integral field extensionL/K, the topologykrullTopology K Lis totally disconnected.
Notations #
- In docstrings, we will write
Gal(L/E)to denote the fixing subgroup of an intermediate fieldE. That is,Gal(L/E)is the subgroup ofL ≃ₐ[K] Lconsisting of automorphisms that fix every element ofE. In particular, we distinguish betweenL ≃ₐ[E] LandGal(L/E), since the former is defined to be a subgroup ofL ≃ₐ[K] L, while the latter is a group in its own right.
Implementation Notes #
krullTopology K Lis defined as an instance for type class inference.
Mapping intermediate fields along the identity does not change them
Mapping a finite dimensional intermediate field along an algebra equivalence gives a finite-dimensional intermediate field.

Given a field extension L/K, finiteExts K L is the set of
intermediate field extensions L/E/K such that E/K is finite
Equations
- finiteExts K L = {E : IntermediateField K L | FiniteDimensional K ↥E}
Instances For
Given a field extension L/K, fixedByFinite K L is the set of
subsets Gal(L/E) of L ≃ₐ[K] L, where E/K is finite
Equations
- fixedByFinite K L = IntermediateField.fixingSubgroup '' finiteExts K L
Instances For
If L/K is a field extension, then we have Gal(L/K) ∈ fixedByFinite K L
If E1 and E2 are finite-dimensional intermediate fields, then so is their compositum.
This rephrases a result already in mathlib so that it is compatible with our type classes
An element of L ≃ₐ[K] L is in Gal(L/E) if and only if it fixes every element of E
The map E ↦ Gal(L/E) is inclusion-reversing
For a field extension L/K, galGroupBasis K L is the group filter basis on L ≃ₐ[K] L
whose sets are Gal(L/E) for finite subextensions E/K
Equations
- galGroupBasis K L = { toFilterBasis := galBasis K L, one' := ⋯, mul' := ⋯, inv' := ⋯, conj' := ⋯ }
Instances For
For a field extension L/K, krullTopology K L is the topological space structure on
L ≃ₐ[K] L induced by the group filter basis galGroupBasis K L
Equations
- krullTopology K L = GroupFilterBasis.topology (galGroupBasis K L)
For a field extension L/K, the Krull topology on L ≃ₐ[K] L makes it a topological group.
Equations
- ⋯ = ⋯
Let L/E/K be a tower of fields with E/K finite. Then Gal(L/E) is an open subgroup of
L ≃ₐ[K] L.
Given a tower of fields L/E/K, with E/K finite, the subgroup Gal(L/E) ≤ L ≃ₐ[K] L is
closed.
If L/K is an algebraic field extension, then the Krull topology on L ≃ₐ[K] L is
totally disconnected.
