  2. Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

    Galois theory has been used to solve classic problems including showing that two problems of antiquity cannot be solved as they were stated (doubling the cube and trisecting the angle), and characterizing the regular polygons that are constructible (this characterization was previously given by Gauss but without the proof that the list of ...

    An Extension of the Galois Theory of Grothendieck. Memoirs of the American Mathematical Society. ISBN 0-8218-2312-4. Borceux, F.; Janelidze, G. (2001). Galois theories. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-80309-8. (This book introduces the reader to the Galois theory of Grothendieck, and some generalisations, leading to Galois groupoids.)

    Galois Theory (1984) [19] Galois theory is the study of the solutions of polynomial equations using abstract symmetry groups. This book puts the origins of the theory into their proper historical perspective, and carefully explains the mathematics in Évariste Galois' original manuscript (reproduced in translation). [20] [21]

  5. Fundamental theorem of Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of...

    It was proved by Évariste Galois in his development of Galois theory. In its most basic form, the theorem asserts that given a field extension E / F that is finite and Galois , there is a one-to-one correspondence between its intermediate fields and subgroups of its Galois group .

  6. Theory of equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_equations

    This problem was completely solved in 1830 by Évariste Galois, by introducing what is now called Galois theory. Before Galois, there was no clear distinction between the "theory of equations" and "algebra". Since then algebra has been dramatically enlarged to include many new subareas, and the theory of algebraic equations receives much less ...

  7. Galois connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_connection

    Especially, it is possible to compose Galois connections: given Galois connections ( f ∗, f ∗) between posets A and B and (g ∗, g ∗) between B and C, the composite (g ∗ ∘ f ∗, f ∗ ∘ g ∗) is also a Galois connection. When considering categories of complete lattices, this can be simplified to considering just mappings ...

  9. Category:Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Galois_theory

    In mathematics, Galois theory is a branch of abstract algebra. At the most basic level, it uses permutation groups to describe how the various roots of a given polynomial equation are related to each other.
