Algebraic independence and substitution for quadratics

Let $f_{1},...,f_{n-1} \in \mathbb{F}[x_1,...,x_n]$ such that $\{ f_1,..., f_{n-1},x_n \}$ is algebraically independent over $\mathbb{F}$. Let $G \in \mathbb{F}[x_1,...,x_n,y_1,...,y_{n-1}]\...

When does sum of algebraically independent polynomial become dependent?

Given $f_1,...,f_n \in \mathbb{F}[x_1,...,x_n]$ where $f_n = g + h$. Suppose the sets $\{ f_1,...,f_{n-1},g \}$ and $\{ f_1,...,f_{n-1},h \}$ are algebraically independent then is there a ...

A question on algebraic independence

Let $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_n, g \in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1,...,x_m]$. Assume that $f_1,\ldots,f_n$ vanish at $0$, so that $\mathbb{F}_q[[f_1,...,f_n]]$ is a subring of $\mathbb{F}_q[[x_1,...,x_n]]$. Suppose that ...

Can you use Chevalley‒Warning to prove existence of a solution?

Recall the Chevalley‒Warning theorem: Theorem. Let $f_1, \ldots, f_r \in \mathbb F_q[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be polynomials of degrees $d_1, \ldots, d_r$. If $$d_1 + \ldots + d_r < n,$$ then the ...

Schwartz-Zippel lemma for an algebraic variety

Let $X $ be a smooth affine subvariety of $(\overline{\mathbb{F}_q})^n$ defined by a prime ideal $I$. Let $f$ $\in \mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a polynomial such that $f \notin I$. Let $r_1, \...

Algebraic dependency over $\mathbb{F}_{2}$

Let $f_{1},f_{2},\ldots,f_{n}$ be $n$ polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_{2}[x_{1},x_{2},\ldots,x_{n}]$ such that $\forall a=(a_1,a_2,\ldots,a_n)\in\mathbb{F}_{2}^{n}$ we have $\forall i\in[n]:f_{i}(a)=a_{i}$....

Classification of rings satisfying $a^4=a$

We have the famous classification of rings satisfying $a^2=a$ (for each element $a$) in terms of Stone spaces, via $X \mapsto C(X,\mathbb{F}_2)$. Similarly, rings satisfying $a^3=a$ are classified by ...
