A Galois theory for inseparable field extensions

Galois Theory for Arbitrary Field Extensions

Hopf Galois structures on primitive purely inseparable extensions

Let L/K be a primitive purely inseparable extension of fields of characteristic p, [L : K] > p, p odd. It is well known that L/K is Hopf Galois for some Hopf algebra H, and it is suspected that L/K is Hopf Galois for numerous choices of H. We construct a family of K-Hopf algebras H for which L is an H-Galois object. For some choices of K we will exhibit an infinite number of such H. We provide ...

Counting Hopf Galois Structures on Non-abelian Galois Field Extensions

Let L be a field which is a Galois extension of the field K with Galois group G. Greither and Pareigis [GP87] showed that for many G there exist K-Hopf algebras H other than the group ring KG which make L into an H-Hopf Galois extension of K (or a Galois H∗object in the sense of Chase and Sweedler [CS69]). Using Galois descent they translated the problem of determining the Hopf Galois structure...

Homotopy Theory of Hopf Galois Extensions

We introduce the concept of homotopy equivalence for Hopf Galois extensions and make a systematic study of it. As an application we determine all H-Galois extensions up to homotopy equivalence in the case when H is a Drinfeld-Jimbo quantum group.

Scaffolds and integral Hopf Galois module structure on purely inseparable extensions

Let p be prime. Let L/K be a finite, totally ramified, purely inseparable extension of local fields, [L : K] = p, n ≥ 2. It is known that L/K is Hopf Galois for numerous Hopf algebras H, each of which can act on the extension in numerous ways. For a certain collection of such H we construct “Hopf Galois scaffolds” which allow us to obtain a Hopf analogue to the Normal Basis Theorem for L/K. The...
