Multivariate polynomials over a ring #
Many results about polynomials hold when the coefficient ring is a commutative semiring. Some stronger results can be derived when we assume this semiring is a ring.
This file does not define any new operations, but proves some of these stronger results.
Notation #
As in other polynomial files, we typically use the notation:
-
σ : Type*
(indexing the variables) -
R : Type*
[CommRing R]
(the coefficients) -
s : σ →₀ ℕ
, a function fromσ
toℕ
which is zero away from a finite set. This will give rise to a monomial inMvPolynomial σ R
which mathematicians might callX^s
-
a : R
-
i : σ
, with corresponding monomialX i
, often denotedX_i
by mathematicians -
p : MvPolynomial σ R
Equations

A ring homomorphism f : Z[X_1, X_2, ...] → R is determined by the evaluations f(X_1), f(X_2), ...
Ring homomorphisms out of integer polynomials on a type σ
are the same as
