So Euclidean algorithm (in usual sense as anank pointed out), does not work in $R[x]$ if $R$ is not a field.
00:05
And $F$ is a field iff $F[x]$ is a PID, in which case it's an Euclidean domain
00:03
Being an Euclidean domain is a stronger property than being a PID
00:00
Because all non-zero elements of F are units
yst 23:58
@sku the ideal generated by 2 and x should be non-principal
yst 21:55
I was referring to my thoughts
yst 21:52
no problem
yst 21:40
then you'll have $\mathcal{A} = \mathcal{A}_Y$
yst 21:40
given a completely regular algebra $\mathcal{A}$, you want to take the compactification associated with $\mathcal{A}$
yst 21:39
part c) does show surjectivity
yst 21:39
oh okay no
yst 21:38
part b) shows injectivity
yst 21:37
part a) shows that the map is into what we want it to be into
yst 21:37
@psie there is no part that shows surjectivity as far as I can see
yst 21:27
you then show injectivity, surjectivity
yst 21:24
First step would be to show this map is well-defined so that if $Y, Y'$ are equivalent compactifications, then $\mathcal{A}_Y = \mathcal{A}_{Y'}$
yst 21:24
@psie $[Y]\mapsto \mathcal{A}_Y$
yst 17:21
replace it with $c_1...c_n$ for arbitrary placing of brackets if you want non-associative
yst 17:02
That's how you do it with any algebraic structure
yst 17:01
You need to first ask yourself what needs to be in such subalgebra, and then show that if you take all those things that need to be in there, it will already be a subalgebra
yst 17:00
Yes. But that doesn't get us closer to what it is
yst 16:58
subalgebras, and "contain the algebra" is uh. I don't know what you mean
yst 16:56
of course I'm assuming your algebras are non-unital since your algebras were non-unital in other theorems (this has bearing on what we mean by subalgebra)
yst 16:55
In this context, the subalgebra generated by $\mathcal{C}$ will consist of linear combinations of finite products $c_1...c_n$ where $c_k\in \mathcal{C}$. You should prove it
yst 16:53
there is two ways in which we can think of those subspaces
yst 16:53
you should recall when we were talking about vector subspace generated by a set
yst 16:53
equivalently you can give it another characterization
yst 16:52
this will be the intersection of all subalgebras $\mathcal{A}_0\subseteq \mathcal{A}$ such that $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathcal{A}_0$
yst 16:52
If $\mathcal{A}$ is an algebra and $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathcal{A}$ then we can consider subalgebra generated by $\mathcal{C}$
yst 16:50
@psie because in the context I was referring to this specific example
yst 16:47
You are misquoting me
yst 15:36
the fact that the two results together are equivalent to AC is an odd curiosity
yst 15:35
But Boolean prime ideal theorem is strictly weaker than AC
yst 15:11
this is a fundamental tool in our reasoning
yst 15:11
the more advanced stuff - can be too
yst 15:10
the basic stuff is proven using induction, that's what it's for
yst 15:09
its maybe worth keeping in mind that all these schema for proving things allow us to reason formally about things and are the greatest tool
yst 15:06
:68059980 I just explained it. What?
yst 15:06
It allows you to continue to reason by induction even past the natural numbers
yst 15:05
Or the class of all ordinals
yst 15:04
@pie It's induction in case instead of natural numbers $\omega$ you have an arbitrary ordinal
yst 15:03
another one is transfinite induction
yst 15:03
One that is quite straightforward is "induction on reals"
yst 15:02
There are generalizations of induction, yes
yst 15:01
"for countably many $P$" - makes no sense to me
yst 15:01
@pie what do you mean? Induction says that if $P_0$ is true, and for all $n\in \omega$ the implication $P_n\implies P_{n+1}$ is true, then for all $n\in \omega$ the statement $P_n$ is true
yst 14:57
@pie what's a case in this context
yst 14:30
contrary to its name, the Van Douwen line is $2$-dimensional

Q: Using higher-order Bring radicals to solve arbitrary polynomials

Daniel MillerIt is well known that there is no general formula for the solution of the quintic. Of course, what this really means is that there is no general formula that only involves addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the extraction of $n$-th roots. Indeed, if one is allowed to use the Bri...

yst 02:11
so I'd expect we'd have to have Bring radicals of different kinds as well
