normal closure


Let K be an extension fieldMathworldPlanetmath of F. A normal closurePlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of K/F is a field LK that is a normal extensionMathworldPlanetmath of F and is minimalPlanetmathPlanetmath in that respect, i.e. no proper subfield of L containing K is normal over F. If K is an algebraic extensionMathworldPlanetmath of F, then a normal closure for K/F exists and is unique up to isomorphismPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath.
