Constant-field base change for the powered-image index #
The canonical powered-image relation remains associated to its coefficient base change. Comparing the exact tower-degree factorizations on the two curves then shows that the source-to-powered-image finrank is invariant under extension of constants. This is the descent bridge from the algebraically closed stabilizer argument to the original constant field.
Bivariate evaluation commutes with an extension of the coefficient field.
