Undergrad Are Splitting Fields Unique for Different Polynomial Families?

Click For Summary
If E and E' are splitting fields of different polynomial families over K, they are not isomorphic. Splitting fields must correspond to the same family of polynomials in K[x] to be isomorphic. However, it is possible for E and E' to share the same zeros despite being derived from different polynomial families. The discussion suggests that the ideal generated by the polynomial families should be considered in this context. Therefore, the relationship between splitting fields and polynomial families is nuanced and requires careful examination of their properties.

So if E and E' are both extensions of K so that both E and E' are splitting fields of different families of polynomials in K[x], then E and E' are not isomorphic, correct? They need to be splitting fields for the same family of polynomials in K[x], correct?

I don't think so, at least not in this generality. They could still have the same zeros although the sets might be different. I think one has to consider the ideal generated by the two families.
 
I am studying the mathematical formalism behind non-commutative geometry approach to quantum gravity. I was reading about Hopf algebras and their Drinfeld twist with a specific example of the Moyal-Weyl twist defined as F=exp(-iλ/2θ^(μν)∂_μ⊗∂_ν) where λ is a constant parametar and θ antisymmetric constant tensor. {∂_μ} is the basis of the tangent vector space over the underlying spacetime Now, from my understanding the enveloping algebra which appears in the definition of the Hopf algebra...
