  Galois group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suppose that E is an extension of the field F.
The notation F(a) indicates the field extension obtained by adjoining an element a to the field F.
The significance of an extension being Galois is that it obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory: the subgroups of the Galois group correspond to the intermediate fields of the field extension.

 Galois extension - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a Galois extension is an algebraic field extension E/F satisfying certain conditions (described below); one also says that the extension is Galois.
The significance of being a Galois extension is that the extension has a Galois group and obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory.
The extension E/F is Galois if the field fixed by the automorphism group Aut(E/F) is precisely the base field F.

 Galois Implies Separable   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
An algebraic galois extension f over k is separable, and normal, and acts as a splitting field for a set of separable polynomials.
In summary, the extension f/k is the splitting field for a set of separable polynomials iff f is galois and algebraic.
An infinite algebraic extension is galois iff it splits a set of separable polynomials, iff it is the union of finite galois extensions.

In this case, the extensions are: Q < Q(sqrt(6)) < Q(sqrt(1+sqrt(6))) Q < Q(sqrt(6)) < Q(sqrt(1-sqrt(6))) and the latter two extensions are not the same, since the first one is real and the second one is not (in this case, the Galois group is D4, the dihedral group of order 8).
This shows that all the extensions in the chain [2] are of degree 1 or 2, and therefore the degree of splitting field is a power of 2.
For the purpose of computing Galois groups, however, this is irrelevant--all operations take place in the splitting field of f, and we are not restricted to the real part of it.

MU is an S[BU]-Hopf-Galois extension of commutative S-algebras, with coaction fi :MU !
Thus the E-local Galois conditions, that G is stably dualizable and the maps* * i and h are weak equivalences, are invariant under changes in A, B or G that amou* *nt to E-local weak equivalences of A, B and S[G].
Galois extensions of commutative rings are always faithfully flat, and it wi* *ll be convenient to consider the corresponding property for structured ring spectra.

 Galois Groups   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The galois group of f over k is the set of automorphisms of f that fix k.
Using the terminology of group theory, the galois group acts transitively on the roots of p(x).
Everything in the extension is real, and the root cannot be mapped onto a complex cube root of 2, so the galois group is trivial, even though the dimension of the extension is 3.

 Science Fair Projects - Category:Galois theory
In mathematics, Galois theory is that branch of abstract algebra which studies the symmetries of the roots of polynomials.
In other words, the Galois theory is the study of solutions to polynomials and how the different solutions are related to each other.
Symmetries are usually expressed in terms of symmetry groups, and in fact the very notion of a group was invented by Evariste Galois to describe symmetries of roots.

 Introduction to "Taming Wild Extensions" of Lindsay N. Childs
Galois module theory is the branch of algebraic number theory which studies rings of integers of Galois extensions of number fields as modules over the integral group ring of the Galois group.
Since wild extensions include all ramified Galois extensions of a local field K containing \Bbb Q_p where the Galois group is a p-group, this was a substantial omission.
We then give Byott's classification of Galois extensions for which the classical Galois structure is the unique Hopf Galois structure, and survey results on the number of Hopf Galois structures on Galois extensions with Galois group G for various G, including cyclic p-groups {Ko98}, and symmetric, alternating and simple groups {CC99}.

 .:: Galois Field Arithmetic Library ::.
The branch in mathematics known as Galois theory (pronounced as "gal-wah") which is based on abstract algebra was discovered by a young brilliant french mathematician known as Evariste Galois.
Galois theory is used to describe and generalize results seen in these fields, for example the AES algorithm can be represented with just a few lines of mathematics using Galois theory and some other related abstract algebra.
Galois fields are setup by intially defining the size of the field which means how many elements will exist within the field, and also the values those elements will posses.

 Galois extension
In mathematics, a Galois extension is a field extension that has a Galois group.
A fundamental result of Galois theory characterises these extensions: a finite extension of fields L/K is a Galois extension if and only if it is both a normal extension and a separable extension.
It states, in more concrete terms, that L is built up from K as a compositum of a number of splitting fields of separable polynomials.

 Galois Theory Glossary
An extension of fields L/K (this notation does not denote any sort of quotient) is a ring homomorphism K --> L. Such a homomorphism has to be injective, so that K is isomorphic to a subfield of L. It is often convenient to identify K with this subfield.
A Galois extension is a normal separably algebraic extension of finite degree.
Let L/K be an extension of fields, and let a in L be algebraic over K. The minimal polynomial of a over K is the unique monic polynomial f(t) in K[t] of least degree such that f(a) = 0.

 proof concerning galois extension
There is already a widely accepted notation for this group, "Aut(E/F)", the automorphisms of E over F, that does not imply (as his notation does) that the extension is Galois in the first place.
It seems to me that talking about "the Galois group" of a non-Galois extension is pretty much as poor a choice of notation as you can get here.
So you are trying to show that a finite extension E/F is Galois if and only if the fixed field of Aut(E/F) is F. Your proof that if the extension is Galois then the fixed field is F seems to be correct.

An algebraic extension field F of K is called separable over K if the minimal polynomial of each element of F is separable.

The significance of an extension being Galois is that it obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory.
If F is Q (the field of rational numbers), and E is Q(√2), the field obtained from Q by adjoining √2, then the Galois group again has two elements: the identity automorphism, and the automorphism which exchanges √2 and −√2.
This is because it is not a normal extension, since the other two cube roots of 2, being complex numbers, are not contained in Q(α).

Just as class field theory for unramified Abelian extensions can be explained in terms of the divisor class group and its subgroups, so can arbitrary Abelian extensions be characterized by means of ray class groups with respect to suitable modules (see Algebraic number theory).
