Apr 29, 2022 at 7:55 comment added Kapil That is the "5-lemma" which says that if $Q$ and $R$ are invertible, then so is $P$.
Apr 29, 2022 at 6:36 comment added Fedor Petrov thank you, and another probably silly question: why is this $P$ invertible?

Explain the calculation of P
Apr 29, 2022 at 6:24 comment added Fedor Petrov Sorry, I missed this point, thinking that $P$ also has coefficients in $F[\lambda]$. Could you please elaborate on how to get $P$ knowing $Q$ and $R$?
Apr 29, 2022 at 6:16 comment added Kapil @FedorPetrov However, $P$ is a map of finite dimensional vector spaces over $F$ and thus is a given matrix over $F$ (which need not be infinite).
Apr 29, 2022 at 6:02 comment added Fedor Petrov of course, but $F[\lambda]$ itself is infinite
Apr 29, 2022 at 5:35 comment added Kapil @FedorPetrov I think the algorithm for SNF is for any PID where Bezout's identity can be explicitly computed. So it can be done over any $F[\lambda]$, as far as I can see. Am I missing something?
Apr 29, 2022 at 5:28 comment added Fedor Petrov But this method works only over infinite field, right?
