finite transcendence degree but not finitely generated field extension

313 Views Asked by At

Sorry for my bad English.

Let $K\subset L$ be field extension such that transcendence degree tr.deg $L/K<\infty$.

Now, can we say $L/K$ is finitely generated field extension?

Please tell me proof or contradiction, thanks.

No, for example the algebraic closure $L$ of $\Bbb Q$ is algebraic over $\Bbb Q$, hence $L/\Bbb Q$ has transcendence degree $0$ but it cannot be finitely generated as it is an infinite algebraic extension.
