einsetzungshomomorphismus zwischen Polynomringen über Integritätsbereichen als Isomorphismus
Proposition
Let \(R\) be an Integral domain, \(R[X]\) the polynomial ring and
TFAE:
- \(\varphi_g\) is an ring-isomorphism
- \(g = \alpha X + b\) for a unit \(\alpha \in R^{\times}\)
Proof
1) \(\implies\) 2)
\(\mathrm{deg}(\alpha X + b) = 1\)
Since \(\varphi\) is \(R\)-linear, we get \(\varphi(r) = r\) for \(r \in R\).
Thus, since \(R\) is an Integral domain, it follows, that
(cf. Grad von Polynomen unter Multiplikation in einem Integritätsbereich)
By injectivity, we may assume, that \(\mathrm{deg}(\varphi_g(x)) > 0\), because otherwise \(\varphi_g(X + \varphi_g(X)) = 0\)
Since \(\varphi_x\) is surjective, there exists a polynomial \(f = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \beta_i X^i\) with
here, since \(R\) is an integral domain, we get homogenous parts \(\beta_i \varphi(X)^i\) with different degre.
Hence by degree of homogeneous polynomials under addition (and again integrity of \(R\)) we get
Here, \(X^1\) with \(\mathrm{deg}(\varphi_g(X)) = 1\) is the only possible choice, hence
\(\alpha\) is a unit
By assumption, there exists a polynomial \(f = \beta_1 X + \beta_0\) (w.l.o.g. \(\mathrm{deg}(f) = 1\), see above) with
evulation results in
where \(\beta_1 \cdot \alpha = 1\)
hence \(\beta_1 = \alpha^{-1}\)
2) \(\implies\) 1)
surjective
Let \(\beta X^n \in R[X]\) be arbitrary.
Then we get
with \(\mathrm{deg}(r) < n\), hence we can inductively construct for any polynomial \(g = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \beta_i X^i\) a polynomial \(h \in R[X]\) with \(\varphi_g(h) = g\)
injective
Let \(f = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \beta_i X^i \in R[X]\) with \(\varphi_g(f) = 0\).
Suppose \(f \neq 0\), then since a unit is never a zero divisor (cf. unit is not a zero divisor), we get for
contradiction
