Galois Theory

Remark 0.1 (Notation). |G| denotes the order of a finite group G. [E : F ] denotes the degree of a field extension E/F. We write H ≤ G to mean that H is a subgroup of G, and N G to mean that N is a normal subgroup of G. If E/F and K/F are two field extensions, then when we say that K/F is contained in E/F , we mean via a homomorphism that fixes F. We assume the following basic facts in this set...

Galois Theory

Proposition 1.3. Let φ be an automorphism of a field extension K/F , and f(x) ∈ F [x]. Let α1, . . . , αn be the roots of f(x) lying in K. Then φ permutes the set {α1, . . . , αn}. If also the set of αi generate K over F , then two automorphisms φ1, φ2 of K/F which agree on all the αi are equal. Thus, in this case we have an inclusion of Aut(K/F ) as a subgroup of Sym({α1, . . . , αn}) ∼= Sn. P...

Galois Corings Applied to Partial Galois Theory

Partial Galois extensions were recently introduced by Doku-chaev, Ferrero and Paques. We introduce partial Galois extensions for noncommutative rings, using the theory of Galois corings. We associate a Morita context to a partial action on a ring.
