If p.comp q = r * s, then every root of s maps to a root of p by evaluation of q.
This is the basic βroot mappingβ step used in Proposition 2.6.
π[X]β§Έ(P) is finite-dimensional over π, using the monic associate of P.
This is a local helper for Proposition 2.6.
Conversely, if f_{X,n} is an isomorphism and n > 1, then S_f is coprime to Pβ.
Proposition 2.5.
Assume π is a field and Pβ, Pβ are irreducible polynomials in π[X]. Let
f : π[X]/(Pβ) β π[X]/(Pβ) be a ring isomorphism stabilizing π, and let S_f and f_{X,n}
be as in Proposition 2.4. For n > 1, S_f is prime to Pβ if and only if
f_{X,n} : π[X]/(Pβ^n) β π[X]/(Pβ^n) is an isomorphism.
Proposition 2.6.
Assume π is a field and Pβ, Pβ are irreducible polynomials in π[X]. Let
f : π[X]/(Pβ) β+* π[X]/(Pβ) be a ring isomorphism stabilizing π, and let Ο_f^X and Q_f
be as in Proposition 2.4.
- If
Ξ±is a root ofPβ, thenQ_f(Ξ±)is a root ofΟ_f^X(Pβ). - The map
Ξ± β¦ Q_f(Ξ±)gives a bijection between the roots ofPβand the roots ofΟ_f^X(Pβ).
Root multiplicity for a composition over an algebraically closed field.
If b = q.eval a, then the multiplicity of a as a root of p.comp q is the multiplicity of b
as a root of p, times the multiplicity of a as a root of q - C b.
For q : K[X], the multiplicity of a as a root of q - C (q.eval a) is 1 iff the derivative
does not vanish at a.
