English
Noun
algebraic extension (plural algebraic extensions)
- (algebra, field theory) A field extension L/K which is algebraic over K (i.e., is such that every element of L is a root of some (nonzero) polynomial with coefficients in K).

- What we now have to prove is that: if an overring of is such that is an integral domain, is integral over and the quotient field of is a finite algebraic extension of , then is a local ring and a finite -module.

- It turns out that when an irreducible polynomial splits in an algebraic extension, then the order at the new irreducible factors remains the same as before for arguments that are defined over the ground field.

- We describe the correspondence between subfields of the field that are algebraic extensions of the field and the subgroups of finite index of the fundamental group .

Usage notes
A field extension that contains elements that are not algebraic is called transcendental.
