A subfield $R \subseteq \mathbb{C}(x,y)$ with 'many' generators $w$, $R(w)=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$

Let $R \subseteq \mathbb{C}(x,y)$ and assume that $R=\mathbb{C}(u,v)$, where $u,v \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ are algebraically independent over $\mathbb{C}$. Here $\mathbb{N}$ includes $0$. Assume that $R$ ...

How many algebraic closures can a field have?

Assuming the axiom of choice given a field $F$, there is an algebraic extension $\overline F$ of $F$ which is algebraically closed. Moreover, if $K$ is a different algebraic extension of $F$ which is ...

On analytic transcendence degree and Krull dimension for homomorphic images of power series rings

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero and $I$ be a radical ideal of $k[[x_1,\ldots, x_n]]$. Let $P$ be a minimal prime ideal of the reduced ring $R:=k[[x_1,\ldots, x_n]]/I$. Then, $R_P$ is a field ...
