When matrices commute

(1) Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and let $M$ and $N$ be $A$-modules. If the natural morphism from $A$ to $\text{End}_A(M\oplus N)$ is surjective, then the annihilators of $M$ and $N$ are comaximal. …

Galois theory timeline

EDIT. Here is the part of the answer that has been rewritten: We give below a short proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory (FTGT) for finite degree extensions. We derive the FTGT from two …

Applications of the Chinese remainder theorem

The Chinese Remainder Theorem gives a way to compute matrix exponentials. Indeed, let $A$ be a complex square matrix, put $B:=\mathbb C[A]$. This is a Banach algebra, and also a $\mathbb C[X]$-algeb …

Shortest/Most elegant proof for $L(1,\chi)\neq 0$

I know it's not an answer to the question, but rather another (probably naive) question suggested by the original question. It seems to me that proving the prime number theorem for arithmetic progres …
