Finite normal extension as a splitting field Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A finite extension is normal exactly when it is the splitting field over of some polynomial. For the forward direction, multiply the minimal polynomials of finitely many generators of ; normality puts all their roots in . The reverse direction follows because a -embedding permutes the roots of a polynomial and hence preserves its splitting field.

Existence and uniqueness of splitting fields Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
Every nonconstant polynomial has a splitting field of finite degree over . It is constructed by adjoining a root of an irreducible factor and repeating over the enlarged field. Any two splitting fields of over are isomorphic by an isomorphism that fixes . Inside one fixed algebraic closure, the field generated by all roots is unique as a subfield.
