In mathematics, the tensor product of two fields is their tensor product as algebras over a common subfield. If no subfield is explicitly specified, the two fields must have the same characteristic and the common subfield is their prime subfield.
The tensor product of two fields is sometimes a field, and often a direct product of fields; In some cases, it can contain non-zero nilpotent elements.
The tensor product of two fields expresses in a single structure the different way to embed the two fields in a common extension field.
First, one defines the notion of the compositum of fields. This construction occurs frequently in field theory. The idea behind the compositum is to make the smallest field containing two other fields. In order to formally define the compositum, one must first specify a tower of fields. Let k be a field and L and K be two extensions of k. The compositum, denoted K.L, is defined to be where the right-hand side denotes the extension generated by K and L. This assumes some field containing both K and L. Either one starts in a situation where an ambient field is easy to identify (for example if K and L are both subfields of the complex numbers), or one proves a result that allows one to place both K and L (as isomorphic copies) in some large enough field.
In many cases one can identify K.L as a vector space tensor product, taken over the field N that is the intersection of K and L. For example, if one adjoins √2 to the rational field to get K, and √3 to get L, it is true that the field M obtained as K.L inside the complex numbers is (up to isomorphism)
as a vector space over . (This type of result can be verified, in general, by using the ramification theory of algebraic number theory.)
Subfields K and L of M are linearly disjoint (over a subfield N) when in this way the natural N-linear map of
to K.L is injective. Naturally enough this isn't always the case, for example when K = L. When the degrees are finite, injectivity is equivalent here to bijectivity.

Galois theory aims at describing the algebraic symmetries of fields. After reviewing the basic material (from the 2nd year course "Ring and Fields") and in particular the Galois correspondence, we wi
The course introduces the paradigm of quantum computation in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notion of quantum bit, gates, circuits and we treat the most important quantum algorithms. We also touch
After introducing the foundations of classical and quantum information theory, and quantum measurement, the course will address the theory and practice of digital quantum computing, covering fundament
En mathématiques, un corps de nombres algébriques (ou simplement corps de nombres) est une extension finie K du corps Q des nombres rationnels. En particulier, c'est une extension algébrique : tous les éléments de K sont des nombres algébriques, dont le degré divise le degré de l'extension. C'est aussi une extension séparable car Q est de caractéristique nulle donc parfait. Tout sous-corps de C engendré par un nombre fini de nombres algébriques est un corps de nombres.
En mathématiques, et plus spécifiquement en algèbre, une extension L d'un corps K est dite séparable si elle est algébrique et si le polynôme minimal de tout élément de L n'admet que des racines simples (dans une clôture algébrique de K). La séparabilité est une des propriétés des extensions de Galois. Toute extension finie séparable satisfait le théorème de l'élément primitif. Les corps dont toutes les extensions algébriques sont séparables (c'est-à-dire les corps parfaits) sont nombreux.
Le produit tensoriel de deux modules est une construction en théorie des modules qui, à deux modules sur un même anneau commutatif unifère A, assigne un module. Le produit tensoriel est très important dans les domaines de l'analyse fonctionnelle, de la topologie algébrique et de la géométrie algébrique. Le produit tensoriel permet en outre de ramener l'étude d'applications bilinéaires ou multilinéaires à des applications linéaires.
In this thesis, we propose and analyze novel numerical algorithms for solving three different high-dimensional problems involving tensors. The commonality of these problems is that the tensors can potentially be well approximated in low-rank formats. Ident ...

Isogeometric analysis is a powerful paradigm which exploits the high smoothness of splines for the numerical solution of high order partial differential equations. However, the tensor-product structure of standard multivariate B-spline models is not well s ...
