Extract

Let F be a field, L a commutative F-algebra and K an extension field of F. An important area of commutative algebra is the study of the passage from L to the k-algebra K ⊗FL, i.e. the investigation of the behaviour of the ideals of L under ‘extension of scalars’. In most problems of this kind one finds that the problem is reduced to the case when the algebra L is itself an extension field of F. It is for this reason that tensor products of fields play an important role (see, for example, (2), chap, viii, (3), (5), (9) and (12), vol. I).
