Exercise 6.1.7
Let be a finite extension, and let be a ring homomorphism that is the identity on . This exercise will show that is an automorphism.
- (a)
- Show that is one-to-one.
- (b)
- Show that is onto.
Answers
Proof.
- (a)
-
Let
. Then
has an inverse
in the field
, so
,
,
. Therefore
, thus
is injective.
is an injective field homomorphism.
- (b)
- As is a finite extension, is a finite dimensional vector space over . As is identity on , is an injective linear application on a finite dimensional vector space, thus is also surjective :
