Jul 15 at 18:48 comment added user237522 @LaurentMoret-Bailly, thank you very much! Great! I hope to upload it to arXiv in a few hours, so hopefully it will appear in 30 hours.
Jul 15 at 18:20 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly @user237522 No problem!
Jul 15 at 13:40 comment added user237522 @LaurentMoret-Bailly, please, do you allow me to quote this post mentioning your name in the acknowledgements of a paper I'm willing to send to arXiv? Is it ok? Thank you.
Jun 29 at 23:47 comment added user237522 Also, for example, $[\mathbb{C}(t^{\frac{1}{2}}):\mathbb{C}(t)]=2$, $[\mathbb{C}(t^{\frac{1}{3}}):\mathbb{C}(t)]=3$, with $\mathbb{C}(t^{\frac{1}{2}}) \simeq \mathbb{C}(t^{\frac{1}{3}})$, so isomorphic fields may not have equal dimension over same subfield. But perhaps this is not a problem here, with the map $s \mapsto -s$ combined with the 'rare' property.
Jun 29 at 23:22 comment added user237522 @GerryMyerson, thanks. Truly, it is clear that $L$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}(x,y)$, because $L=\mathbb{C}(s,v)$ with $s,v$ algebraically independent over $\mathbb{C}$. I do not understand why the choice $x=s+v, y=s+2v$ is possible; it implies that $v=y-x$, which may not hold. So even if this was just an example, how we guarantee that there is a valid choice?
Jun 20 at 7:40 comment added Gerry Myerson I think the last bit of the preceding comment of @Laurent is supposed to be $\mathbb{C}(x,y)\cong L$.
Jun 13 at 17:22 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly Well, $(x,y)$ as defined is algebraically free and generates $L$ over $\mathbb{C}$, whence an isomorphism $\mathbb{C(x,y)\cong L$.
Jun 13 at 17:04 comment added user237522 Please, I do not understand why we can view $L$ as $\mathbb{C}(x,y)$. I just see that $L \subset \overline{\mathbb{C}(u,v)}$, a subfield of an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{C}(u,v)$. An explanation would help. Thank you!
Jun 12 at 20:08 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly I don't understand the second comment.
Jun 12 at 20:07 comment added Laurent Moret-Bailly First comment: yes, but I would not be surprised if your "rare" property were not rare at all.
Jun 12 at 19:56 comment added user237522 $s$ is a root of $T^2-u \in \mathbb{C}(u,v)[T]$, so $s$ belongs to an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{C}(u,v)$. Perhaps now we divide into two cases: (1) $s \in \mathbb{C}(x,y)$. (2) $s \in \overline{\mathbb{C}(x,y)} - \mathbb{C}(x,y)$. In case (1) $L=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$ and $[\mathbb{C}(x,y):R]=2$. In case (2) perhaps $R=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$.
Jun 12 at 19:36 comment added user237522 Thank you very much!! Please, if I understand your answer, you proved that for a given $R$ satisfying the condition of my question, we have $[\mathbb{C}(x,y) : R]=2$?
