Lemma
Lemma (Minimal Polynomial via Galois Conjugates): If
where
Proof (Galois-theoretic approach):
Let
Step 1: Let
Since
Step 2: Establish the subfield relation and group homomorphism.
Clearly
Since these roots are all algebraic conjugates of
By the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory, there exists a surjective homomorphism:
Step 3: Analyze the relationship between orbits and roots.
Let the roots of
For any
Therefore,
Step 4: Prove that the orbit equals the root set.
Conversely, for any root
Since
This means
Therefore
Step 5: Conclusion.
Combining Steps 3 and 4, we obtain:
Therefore:
This completes the proof.

Historical Note
Alexander Grothendieck (1928-2014) revolutionized algebraic geometry and number theory through his radical reconceptualization of mathematical foundations. In the 1950s and 1960s, working primarily at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS) near Paris, Grothendieck developed a vast framework that transformed how mathematicians approach abstract structures.
The tensor product approach to field extensions presented here reflects Grothendieck's profound influence. While classical Galois theory had been established in the 19th century, Grothendieck's functorial perspective and scheme theory provided powerful new tools for understanding these structures. His development of étale cohomology, descent theory, and the formalism of derived categories created a language where field extensions could be viewed within a broader categorical context.
