3 Integral and Euclidean Domains Definition An integral domain R is a set with two operations (+, ) such that: 1 The elements of R form an abelian group under + with additive identity 0. 2 The multiplication is associative and commutative, with multiplicative identity 1. 3 The distributive law holds: a(b +c) = ab+ac. 4 The cancellation law holds: if ab = ac and a 0, then b = c. Examples: Z,R,Q,C,Z p,f[x],f[x,y]. Finite rings Z n,n p are not integral domains. P. Kalla (Univ. of Utah) F k and Hardware Design October 22-29, / 36
4 Euclidean Domains Definition A Euclidean domain D is an integral domain where: 1 associated with each non-zero element a D is a non-negative integer f(a) s.t. f(a) f(ab) if b 0; and 2 a,b (b 0), (q,r) s.t. a = qb +r, where either r = 0 or f(r) < f(b). Can apply the Euclid s algorithm to compute g = GCD(g 1,...,g t ) Then g = i u ig i P. Kalla (Univ. of Utah) F k and Hardware Design October 22-29, / 36
5 Euclidean Domains D = Z,R,Q,C,Z p The ring F[x] is a Euclidean domain where F is any field The ring R = F[x,y] is NOT a Euclidean domain where F is any field For x,y R,GCD(x,y) = 1, but cannot write 1 = f 1 (x,y) x +f 2 (x,y)y Z 2 k is neither and integral domain not a Euclidean domain P. Kalla (Univ. of Utah) F k and Hardware Design October 22-29, / 36
6 Fields Definition Let D be a Euclidean domain, and p D be a prime element. Then D (mod p) is a field. That is why Z (mod p) is a field In R[x],x 2 +1 is a prime actually called an irreducible polynomial So R[x] (mod x 2 +1) is a field and is the field of complex numbers C R[x] (mod p) = {f(x) g(x) R[x],f(x) = g(x) (mod p)} P. Kalla (Univ. of Utah) F k and Hardware Design October 22-29, / 36
7 R[x] (mod x 2 +1) = C Let f,g R[x] (mod x 2 +1) f = remainder of division by x 2 +1, it is linear Let f = ax +b, g = cx +d f g = (ax +b)(cx +d) (mod x 2 +1) = acx 2 +(ad +bc)x +bd (mod x 2 +1) = (ad +bc)x +(bd ac) after reducing by x 2 = 1 Replace x with i = 1, and we get C C is a 2 (=degree(x 2 +1)) dimensional extension of R Intuitively, that is why C R (containment and closure) P.

24 Conjugates of α Theorem Let f(x) F 2 [x] be an arbitrary polynomial, and let β be an element in F 2 k for any k > 1. If β is a root of f(x), then for any l 0,β 2l is also a root of f(x). Elements β 2l are conjugates of each other. Example Let F 16 = F 2 [x] (mod P(x) = x 4 +x 3 +1). Let P(α) = 0. Let us find conjugates of α as α 2l. l = 1 : α 2 l = 2 : α 4 = α 3 +1 l = 3 : α 8 = α 3 +α 2 +α l = 4 : α 16 = α (conjugates start to repeat) So α,α 2,α 3 +1,α 3 +α 2 +α are conjugates of each other. P. Kalla (Univ. of Utah) F k and Hardware Design October 22-29, / 36
25 Get the irreducible polynomial back from conjugates Example Over F 16 = F 2 [x] (mod x 4 +x 3 +1), conjugate elements: α,α 2,α 4,α 8 α 3,α 6,α 12,α 24 α 7,α 14,α 28,α 56 α 5,α 10 Minimal Polynomial of an element β Let e be the smallest integer such that β 2e = β. Construct the polynomial f(x) = e 1 i=0 (x +β2i ). Then f(x) is an irreducible polynomial, and it is also called the irreducible polynomial of β. P. Kalla (Univ. of Utah) F k and Hardware Design October 22-29, / 36
26 Get the irreducible polynomial back from conjugates Minimal polynomial of any element β is: f(x) = e 1 i=0 (x +β2i ) Example Over F 16 = F 2 [x] (mod x 4 +x 3 +1), conjugate elements and their minimal polynomials are: α,α 2,α 4,α 8 : f 1 (x) = (x+α)(x +α 2 )(x +α 4 )(x +α 8 ) = x 4 +x 3 +1 α 3,α 6,α 12,α 24 : f 2 (x) = x 4 +x 3 +x 2 +1 α 7,α 14,α 28,α 56 : f 3 (x) = x 4 +x +1 α 5,α 10 : f 4 (x) = x 2 +x +1 Some observations... Note that f 4 = x 2 +x +1 is the polynomial used to construct F 4. Also notice that associated with every element in F 2 k is a minimal polynomial and its roots (conjugates), that demonstrate the containment of fields and also the uniqueness of the fields upto the labeling of the elements.
