The Qth-power algorithm in characteristic 0

Commutative Algebra 2013-01-28 v1

Abstract

The Qth-power algorithm produces a useful canonical P-module presentation for the integral closures of certain integral extensions of P:=F[xn,...,x1]P:=\mathbf{F}[x_n,...,x_1], a polyonomial ring over the finite field F:=Zq\mathbf{F}:=\mathbf{Z}_q of qq elements. Here it is shown how to use this for several small primes qq to reconstruct similar integral closures over the rationals Q\mathbf{Q} using the Chinese remainder theorem to piece together presentations in different positive characteristics, and the extended Euclidean algorithm to reconstruct rational fractions to lift these to presentations over Q\mathbf{Q}.
