place as extension of homomorphism
Theorem.
If is a ring homomorphism from a subring of a field to an algebraically closed field such that , then there exists a place (http://planetmath.org/PlaceOfField)
of the field such that
Note. That should be algebraically closed, does not , since every field is extendable to such one.
