Classification of Algebraically closed fields

This file contains results related to classifying algebraically closed fields.

Main statements

• IsAlgClosed.equivOfTranscendenceBasis Two algebraically closed fields with the same characteristic and the same cardinality of transcendence basis are isomorphic.
• IsAlgClosed.ringEquivOfCardinalEqOfCharEq Two uncountable algebraically closed fields are isomorphic if they have the same characteristic and the same cardinality.

The cardinality of an algebraic extension is at most the maximum of the cardinality of the base ring or ℵ₀

setting R to be ZMod (ringChar R) this result shows that if two algebraically closed fields have equipotent transcendence bases and the same characteristic then they are isomorphic.

If K is an uncountable algebraically closed field, then its cardinality is the same as that of a transcendence basis.

Two uncountable algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero are isomorphic if they have the same cardinality.
