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 fromσtoℕwhich is zero away from a finite set. This will give rise to a monomial inMvPolynomial σ Rwhich mathematicians might callX^sa : Ri : σ, with corresponding monomialX i, often denotedX_iby mathematiciansp : MvPolynomial σ R

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
functions out of the type σ,
