Ring extensions of length two

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We characterize extensions of commutative rings RsubsetS such that RsubsetT is minimal for each R-subalgebra T of S with TeqR,S. This property is equivalent to RsubsetS has length 2. Such extensions are either pointwise minimal or simple. We are able to compute the number of subextensions of RsubsetS. Besides commutative algebra considerations, our main result is a consequence of the recently introduced by van Hoeij et al. concept of principal subfields of a finite separable field extension. As a corollary of this paper, we get that simple extensions of length 2 have FIP.
