(1) We have shown that and are isomorphic. The issue is to show that we can choose and coprime in . Since is rational, we can write where complex polynomials have no common zeros.
(2) We introduce a new variable and write
where is the maximum of the degrees of and , so that and are polynomials. Now and have no common zeros. The problematic case is , but we note that is the coefficient of , and is the coefficient of ; so either or is not zero by the choice of .
