The transcendence degree of a commutative algebra A over a commutative ring R is
defined to be the maximal cardinality of an R-algebraically independent set in A.

Instances For
If x = {x_i : A | i : ι} and f = {f_i : MvPolynomial ι R | i : ι} are algebraically
independent over R, then {f_i(x) | i : ι} is also algebraically independent over R.
For the partial converse, see AlgebraicIndependent.of_aeval.
If {f_i(x) | i : ι} is algebraically independent over R, then
{f_i : MvPolynomial ι R | i : ι} is also algebraically independent over R.
In fact, the x = {x_i : A | i : ι} is also transcendental over R provided that R
is a field and ι is finite; the proof needs transcendence degree.
A set of algebraically independent elements in an algebra A over a ring K is also
algebraically independent over a subring R of K.
Every finite subset of an algebraically independent set is algebraically independent.
If every finite set of algebraically independent element has cardinality at most n,
then the same is true for arbitrary sets of algebraically independent elements.
