normal extension - an algebraic field extension L/K is said to be normal if L is the splitting field of a family of polynomials in K[X]. (wikipedia)

I have a question about the 'family of polynomials'
it says the family should be arbitarary large?
if E be an algebraic closure of Q(rational number).
is E a normal extension of Q?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What is the splitting field of all polynomials with coefficients in Q? If you can show that this is E, then you have shown that E/Q is a normal extension.
 
Yes, I got it.
You mean arbitrary large family is admittable.

Thanks a lot !

Yes the family can be arbitrarily large.
 
The world of 2\times 2 complex matrices is very colorful. They form a Banach-algebra, they act on spinors, they contain the quaternions, SU(2), su(2), SL(2,\mathbb C), sl(2,\mathbb C). Furthermore, with the determinant as Euclidean or pseudo-Euclidean norm, isu(2) is a 3-dimensional Euclidean space, \mathbb RI\oplus isu(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (1,3), i\mathbb RI\oplus su(2) is a Minkowski space with signature (3,1), SU(2) is the double cover of SO(3), sl(2,\mathbb C) is the...
