The different divisor and the primitive-element derivative #

For a finite separable extension represented by an integral primitive element, the different ideal divides the principal ideal generated by the derivative of the integral minimal polynomial. This file packages that fact at four levels:

Thus all ramified finite-place contributions represented by the different are controlled by one principal divisor. No canonical-divisor or genus estimate is assumed here.

The effective divisor associated to a nonzero integral ideal of a Dedekind domain.

      In a separable function-field extension, the integral minimal-polynomial derivative of every integral element is nonzero.

      A separable primitive element supplies a nonzero element of the different, so the different ideal itself is nonzero.

      The different divides the principal ideal generated by the derivative of a primitive element's integral minimal polynomial.

      At every finite prime, the different exponent is bounded by the order of the primitive element's minimal-polynomial derivative.

      The field norm of the integral minimal-polynomial derivative is the power-basis discriminant, up to the standard sign.
