In [[field theory (mathematics)|field theory]], a branch of algebra, a [[field extension]] <math>L/k</math> is said to be '''regular''' if ''k'' is [[algebraically closed]] in ''L'' {{Clarification needed|date=July 2013}} and ''L'' is [[separable extension|separable]] over ''k'', or equivalently, <math>L \otimes_k \overline{k}</math> is an integral domain when <math>\overline{k}</math> is the algebraic closure of <math>k</math> (that is, to say, <math>L, \overline{k}</math> are [[linearly disjoint]] over ''k'').<ref name=FJ38>Fried & Jarden (2008) p.38</ref><ref name=C425>Cohn (2003) p.425</ref>

==Properties==
* Regularity is transitive: if ''F''/''E'' and ''E''/''K'' are regular then so is ''F''/''K''.<ref name=FJ39>Fried & Jarden (2008) p.39</ref>
* If ''F''/''K'' is regular then so is ''E''/''K'' for any ''E'' between ''F'' and ''K''.<ref name=FJ39/>
* The extension ''L''/''k'' is regular if and only if every subfield of ''L'' finitely generated over ''k'' is regular over ''k''.<ref name=C425/>
* Any extension of an algebraically closed field is regular.<ref name=FJ39/><ref name=C426>Cohn (2003) p.426</ref>
* An extension is regular if and only if it is separable and [[primary extension|primary]].<ref name=FJ44>Fried & Jarden (2008) p.44</ref>
* A [[purely transcendental extension]] of a field is regular.

==Self-regular extension==
There is also a similar notion: a field extension <math>L / k</math> is said to be '''self-regular''' if <math>L \otimes_k L</math> is an integral domain. A self-regular extension is relatively algebraically closed in ''k''.<ref name=C427>Cohn (2003) p.427</ref> However, a self-regular extension is not necessarily regular.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}}
