Extension of field embeddings #
IntermediateField.exists_algHom_of_adjoin_splits' is the main result: if E/L/F is a tower of
field extensions, K is another extension of F, and f is an embedding of L/F into K/F, such
that the minimal polynomials of a set of generators of E/L splits in K (via f), then f
extends to an embedding of E/F into K/F.

σ : L →ₐ[F] K is an extendible lift ("extendible pair" in [Isaacs1980]) if for every
intermediate field M that is finite-dimensional over L, σ extends to some M →ₐ[F] K.
In our definition we only require M to be finitely generated over L, which is equivalent
if the ambient field E is algebraic over F (which is the case in our main application).
We also allow the domain of the extension to be an intermediate field that properly contains M,
since one can always restrict the domain to M.

Given a lift x and an integral element s : E over x.carrier whose conjugates over
x.carrier are all in K, we can extend the lift to a lift whose carrier contains s.
Given an integral element s : E over F whose F-conjugates are all in K,
any lift can be extended to one whose carrier contains s.
Let K/F be an algebraic extension of fields and L a field in which all the minimal
polynomial over F of elements of K splits. Then, for x ∈ K, the images of x by the
F-algebra morphisms from K to L are exactly the roots in L of the minimal polynomial
of x over F.
