Galois extension

In mathematics, a Galois extension is an algebraic field extension E/F that is normal and separable; or equivalently, E/F is algebraic, and the field fixed by the automorphism group Aut(E/F) is precisely the base field F. The significance of being a Galois extension is that the extension has a Galois group and obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory. A result of Emil Artin allows one to construct Galois extensions as follows: If E is a given field, and G is a finite group of automorphisms of E with fixed field F, then E/F is a Galois extension.

Galois theory: Field extensions

This lecture is part of an online course on Galois theory. We review some basic results about field extensions and algebraic numbers. We define the degree of a field extension and show that a number is algebraic over a field if and only if it is contained in a finite extension. We use thi

Galois theory: Galois extensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We define Galois extensions in 5 different ways, and show that 4 f these conditions are equivalent. (The 5th equivalence will be proved in a later lecture.) We use this to show that any finite group is the Galois group of

Galois theory: Infinite Galois extensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We show how to extend Galois theory to infinite Galois extensions. The main difference is that the Galois group has a topology, and intermediate field extensions now correspond to closed subgroups of the Galois group. We

Galois theory: Normal extensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We define normal extensions of fields by three equivalent conditions, and give some examples of normal and non-normal extensions. In particular we show that a normal extension of a normal extension need not be normal.

Galois theory: Transcendental extensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We describe transcendental extension of fields and transcendence bases. As applications we classify algebraically closed fields and show hw to define the dimension of an algebraic variety.

Galois theory II | Math History | NJ Wildberger

We continue our historical introduction to the ideas of Galois and others on the fundamental problem of how to solve polynomial equations. In this video we focus on Galois' insights into how extending our field of coefficients, typically by introducing some radicals, the symmetries of the

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.4: Galois groups

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.4: Galois groups The Galois group Gal(f(x)) of a polynomial f(x) is the automorphism group of its splitting field. The degree of a chain of field extensions satisfies a "tower law", analogous to the tower law for the index of a chain of subgroups. This hints

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.5: Galois group actions and normal field extensions If f(x) has a root in an extension field F of Q, then any automorphism of F permutes the roots of f(x). This means that there is a group action of Gal(f(x)) on the roots of f(x), and this action has only on
