Pseudo algebraically closed field

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The field K is pseudo algebraically closed if one of the following equivalent conditions holds:

  • Each absolutely irreducible variety V defined over K has a K-rational point.
  • Each absolutely irreducible polynomial f\in K[T_1,T_2,\cdots ,T_r,X] with \frac{\partial f}{\partial X}\not =0 and for each 0\not =g\in K[T_1,T_2,\cdots ,T_r,X] there exists (\textbf{a},b)\in K^{r+1} such that f(\textbf{a},b)=0 and g(\textbf{a})\not =0.
  • Each absolutely irreducible polynomial f\in K[T,X] has infinitely many K-rational points.
  • If R is a finitely generated integral domain over K with quotient field which is regular over K, then there exist a homomorphism h:R\to K such that h(a) = a for each a\in K
