Summary This is the first part of a four-article series containing a Mizar [3], [1], [2] formalization of Kronecker’s construction about roots of polynomials in field extensions, i.e. that for every field F and every polynomial p ∈ F [X]\F there exists a field extension E of F such that p has a root over E. The formalization follows Kronecker’s classical proof using F [X]/ as the desired field extension E [9], [4], [6]. In this first part we show that an irreducible polynomial p ∈ F [X]\F has a root over F [X]/. Note, however, that this statement cannot be true in a rigid formal sense: We do not have F ⊆ [X]/ < p > as sets, so F is not a subfield of F [X]/, and hence formally p is not even a polynomial over F [X]/ < p >. Consequently, we translate p along the canonical monomorphism ϕ: F → F [X]/ and show that the translated polynomial ϕ(p) has a root over F [X]/. Because F is not a subfield of F [X]/ we construct in the second part the field (E \ ϕF )∪F for a given monomorphism ϕ : F → E and show that this field both is isomorphic to F and includes F as a subfield. In the literature this part of the proof usually consists of saying that “one can identify F with its image ϕF in F [X]/ and therefore consider F as a subfield of F [X]/”. Interestingly, to do so we need to assume that F ∩ E =∅, in particular Kronecker’s construction can be formalized for fields F with F \ F [X] =∅. Surprisingly, as we show in the third part, this condition is not automatically true for arbitray fields F : With the exception of 2 we construct for every field F an isomorphic copy F′ of F with F′ ∩ F′ [X] ≠∅. We also prove that for Mizar’s representations of n,  and  we have n ∩ n[X] = ∅,  ∩ [X] = ∅and  ∩ [X] = ∅, respectively. In the fourth part we finally define field extensions: E is a field extension of F i F is a subfield of E. Note, that in this case we have F ⊆ E as sets, and thus a polynomial p over F is also a polynomial over E. We then apply the construction of the second part to F [X]/ with the canonical monomorphism ϕ : F → F [X]/. Together with the first part this gives - for fields F with F ∩ F [X] = ∅ - a field extension E of F in which p ∈ F [X]\F has a root.
