A version of Hilbert's Nullstellensatz for real zeros
$\newcommand\R{\Bbb R}$Let $Q(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\R[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be an irreducible polynomial such that the dimension of the set $Z:=\{(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\R^n\colon Q(x_1,\dots,x_n)=0\}$ (defined, say,...

Locally compact rings with reciprocals
A topological field is defined to be a topological ring $F$ with reciprocals such that the reciprocal function $F\setminus\{0\} \to F\setminus\{0\}$ is continuous. Locally compact topological fields ...

Luroth's theorem for Discrete valuation rings?
Luroth's theorem states that if $k$ is a field and $L$ is a field extension of $k$ such that $k \subset L \subseteq k(X)$, then $L=k(f(X))$ for some $f(X) \in k(X) $ . My question is ; is there any ...

Indecomposablity in purely inseparable extensions
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$ (e.g. the separable closure of $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$) and consider the extension $k(x)/k$ where $x^p\in k$ but $x$ does not. Consider a (finitely generated) ...

A generalization of the discriminant of a polynomial
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and let $f \in \mathbb{K}[x]$ be a monic polynomial of degree $n$. Suppose that $\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n$ are all the roots of $f$ (in some algebraic closure of $\mathbb{...
