Aug 5, 2020 at 17:13 comment added Pace Nielsen Let $K=L=\mathbb{Q}$ and take $f(x)=x(x-1)$. Thus, the two roots can be ordered as $x_1=0,x_2=1$. Any polynomial $Q(X_1,X_2)$ will yield a primitive element for this extension when we evaluate at $x_1,x_2$.
Aug 5, 2020 at 13:14 comment added Pace Nielsen (C1) is only necessary for a primitive element when $n!$ is the degree of the extension $L/K$. But there are examples of degree $3$ Galois extensions, and $n!$ never equals $3$.

Aug 4, 2020 at 15:36 comment added LSpice Also, since you edited it back in you obviously want it, so I apologise for an edit that went against your intentions; but "a bunch of at most $n!$ different values" is not usual English. Usually one would say something like "a bunch of different values, at most $n!$" or just "at most $n!$ different values".

Various proofreading
Aug 4, 2020 at 1:15 comment added LSpice Despite your definition, I don't know what "generic" means. Which relation is "a certain nontrivial polynomial relation"? What does it mean to speak of whether a polynomial (which is what you are calling generic) satisfies a polynomial relation?
