	Galois group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, a Galois group is a group associated with a certain type of field extension.
		The significance of an extension being Galois is that it obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory.
		If F is the field R of real numbers, and E is the field C of complex numbers, then the Galois group has two elements, namely the identity automorphism and the complex conjugation automorphism.

	Galois theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, Galois theory is a branch of abstract algebra.
		Galois theory not only provides a beautiful answer to this question, it also explains in detail why it is possible to solve equations of degree four or lower in the above manner, and why their solutions take the form that they do.
		The central idea of Galois theory is to consider those permutations (or rearrangements) of the roots having the property that any algebraic equation satisfied by the roots is still satisfied after the roots have been permuted.

		Symmetries are usually expressed in terms of symmetry groups, and in fact the abstract notion of group was invented by Evariste Galois for the very purpose of describing symmetries of roots.
		If a factor group in the composition series is cyclic of order n, then the corresponding field extension is a radical extension, and the elements of L can then be expressed using the nth root of some element of K.
		If all the factor groups in its composition series are cyclic, the Galois group is called solvable, and all of the elements of the corresponding field can be found by repeatedly taking roots, products, and sums of elements from the base field (usually Q).

		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.
		In the modern approach, the setting is changed somewhat, in order to achieve a precise and more general definition: one starts with a field extension L/K and defines its Galois group as the group of all field automorphisms of L which keep all elements of K fixed.

		Galois' brilliant insight was that one can know essentially "everything" there is to know about the roots of polynomial equations by considering a new object, a group, namely the group of all "reasonable" permuations of those roots.
		The Galois group is a way of encoding all available information about the relationships of the roots of polynomials with coefficients in the base field that factor completely in the extension field.

		The Galois group of the polynomial is then the group G of automorphisms of E that leave F fixed.
		This, therefore, is the Galois group of the preceding polynomial relative to the coefficient field Q. One of the most important applications of Galois theory (indeed, the reason it was invented) is to provide the criterion for deciding when a polynomial is solvable by means of rational operations and root extractions.
		From group theory it can be shown that this is possible for the fully symmetric permutation groups of two, three, or four entities (of orders 2, 6, and 24 respectively), but not for the fully symmetric group of five (or more) entities.

	The Hindu : Brief life of a mathematician
		Galois was aware that he was fighting a superior adversary, and that most likely he would be killed in the duel.
		Galois in 1831 was the first to really understand that the algebraic solvability of a polynomial equation was intimately related to the group structure of certain permutations associated with the equation.
		The understanding of the general group concept, and the realisation that it was the basis of Galois' work, came only in the second half of the 19th century.

	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}.

	The Group Concept (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)

		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).
		Every automorphism on f/e also fixes k, hence the galois group of f over e is a subgroup of the galois group of f over k.

	Determining the Galois Group of a Polynomial
		Now, by a theorem of Cebotarev we know the proportion of all primes relative to which f(x) splits is asymptotic to 1/order(G) where G is the galois group of f.
		Clearly the order of the group is not 720 (which it would have to be if the Galois group was S_6), so it must be a proper subgroup.
		The point is that by just playing around with f(x) in various F_p[x] the Galois group of the polynomial quickly becomes very apparent, even without slogging through a rigorous demonstration.

	Galois' commentators
		For instance, Kronecker was first to describe the Galois group not in terms of permutations on the roots of an equation, but as a group of automorphisms of the coefficient field with adjoined quantities.
		Weber presented Galois Theory in terms of group theory and field theory, making very few references to equations, so that the theory could also be applied to other areas than the solvability of equations.
		Today's formulations (see [6] or [7]) of the Fundamental Theorem of Galois Theory are equivalent to Artin's; their aim is to reveal the parallel structure of the extension field and its automorphism group.

	The Galois Group of a Polynomial
		If f/k is a field extension, its galois group is the group of automorphisms of f that fix k.
		If p(x) is an irreducible polynomial with coefficients in k, it also has a galois group, namely the galois group of its splitting field.
		Since the size of the orbit, times the size of the stabilizing subgroup, gives the size of g, the order of the galois group is divisible by n, where n is the number of roots in p(x).

	ABSTRACT ALGEBRA ON LINE: Galois Theory
		To study solvability by radicals of a polynomial equation f(x) = 0, we let K be the field generated by the coefficients of f(x), and let F be a splitting field for f(x) over K. Galois considered permutations of the roots that leave the coefficient field fixed.
		The next lemma shows that in computing Galois groups it is enough to consider polynomials with integer coefficients.
		Then a powerful technique is to reduce the integer coefficients modulo a prime and consider the Galois group of the reduced equation over the field GF(p).

	Research Interests of Lindsay N. Childs
		Noether's theorem is the starting point for an extensive global theory which, for a tamely ramified Galois extension L/K of algebraic number fields, relates the class of the ring of integers S of L in the locally free class group Cl(RG) (or Cl(ZG)) to analytic invariants associated with L-functions.
		For wild extensions, one approach is Galois module theory is to replace the group ring RG by a larger order in KG, the associated order of S in KG, namely, the set of elements in KG which map S into itself (not just into L).
		Bondarko's paper looks at Hopf orders in group rings of abelian groups and shows, under some restrictions, that a Hopf order is realizable iff the Hopf order represents the kernel of an isogeny of dimension one formal groups (and is then necessarily monogenic).

	Galois group and action
		The elements of the Galois group of A over are obtained by sending a to one of its conjugates.
		Thus the action on A of such an element of the Galois group is determined by the polynomial (with rational coefficients) expressing the conjugate in a.
		Lastly, we find the Galois group G using the intrinsic function once more, but in terms of the degree-6 defining polynomial of the splitting field.

		Inverse Galois Theory is concerned with the question of which finite groups occur as Galois Groups over a given field.
		In particular, this includes the question of the structure and the representations of the absolute Galois group of K and also the question about its finite epimorphic images, the so-called inverse problem of Galois theory.
		The idea of deducing the realizability of a finite group as Galois group over Q(t) from the existence of rigid systems of generators as far as we know first appeared implicitly in the appendix to the dissertation of Shih (1974).

		Another point of departure is the theory of invariants of ordinary representations of finite groups--the algebra of invariants characterizes the group (which is a permutation subgroup of S_n, and hence also a linear rep, and hence has invariants=resolvents.) There was a nice survey in the Bullitin back in '79 or thereabouts on invariants of groups.
