In abstract algebra, an algebraic field extension ''L''/''K'' is said to be normal if ''L'' is the splitting field of a family of polynomials in ''K''(). Bourbaki calls such an extension a quasi-Galois extension. == Equivalent properties and examples == The normality of ''L''/''K'' is equivalent to either of the following properties. Let ''K''''a'' be an algebraic closure of ''K'' containing ''L''. * Every embedding σ of ''L'' in ''K''''a'' that restricts to the identity on ''K'', satisfies σ(''L'') = ''L''. In other words, σ is an automorphism of ''L'' over ''K''. * Every irreducible polynomial in ''K''() that has one root in ''L'', has all of its roots in ''L'', that is, it decomposes into linear factors in ''L''(). (One says that the polynomial ''splits'' in ''L''.) If ''L'' is a finite extension of ''K'' that is separable (for example, this is automatically satisfied if ''K'' is finite or has characteristic zero) then the following property is also equivalent: * There exists an irreducible polynomial whose roots, together with the elements of ''K'', generate ''L''. (One says that ''L'' is the splitting field for the polynomial.) For example, is a normal extension of , since it is a splitting field of ''x''2 − 2. On the other hand, is not a normal extension of since the irreducible polynomial ''x''3 − 2 has one root in it (namely, ), but not all of them (it does not have the non-real cubic roots of 2). The fact that is not a normal extension of can also be seen using the first of the three properties above. The field of algebraic numbers is an algebraic closure of containing . On the other hand, : and, if ω is a primitive cubic root of unity, then the map : is an embedding of in whose restriction to is the identity. However, σ is not an automorphism of . For any prime ''p'', the extension is normal of degree ''p''(''p'' − 1). It is a splitting field of ''xp'' − 2. Here denotes any ''p''th primitive root of unity. The field is the normal closure (see below) of . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Normal extension」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
