Extensions of Hyperfields
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We develop a theory of extensions of hyperfields that generalizes the notion of field extensions. Since hyperfields have a multivalued addition, we must consider two kinds of extensions that we call weak hyperfield extensions and strong hyperfield extensions. For quotient hyperfields, we develop a method to construct strong hyperfield extensions that contain roots to any polynomial over the hyperfield. Furthermore, we give an example of a hyperfield that has two non-isomorphic minimal extensions containing a root to some polynomial. This shows that the process of adjoining a root to a hyperfield is not a well-defined operation.
