Galois group — In mathematics, a Galois group is a group associated with a certain type of field extension. The study of field extensions (and polynomials which give rise to them) via Galois groups is called Galois theory. The name is for Évariste Galois.For a… … Wikipedia
Absolute Galois group — In mathematics, the absolute Galois group GK of a field K is the Galois group of K sep over K , where K sep is a separable closure of K . Alternatively it is the group of all automorphisms of the algebraic closure of K that fix K . The absolute… … Wikipedia
Group theory — is a mathematical discipline, the part of abstract algebra that studies the algebraic structures known as groups. The development of group theory sprang from three main sources: number theory, theory of algebraic equations, and geometry. The… … Wikipedia
Galois theory — In mathematics, more specifically in abstract algebra, Galois theory, named after Évariste Galois, provides a connection between field theory and group theory. Using Galois theory, certain problems in field theory can be reduced to group theory,… … Wikipedia
Group (mathematics) — This article covers basic notions. For advanced topics, see Group theory. The possible manipulations of this Rubik s Cube form a group. In mathematics, a group is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an operation that combines … Wikipedia
Galois module — In mathematics, a Galois module is a G module where G is the Galois group of some extension of fields. The term Galois representation is frequently used when the G module is a vector space over a field or a free module over a ring, but can also… … Wikipedia
Galois cohomology — In mathematics, Galois cohomology is the study of the group cohomology of Galois modules, that is, the application of homological algebra to modules for Galois groups. A Galois group G associated to a field extension L / K acts in a natural way… … Wikipedia
Galois extension — 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… … Wikipedia
Galois — Évariste Galois Évariste Galois (* 25. Oktober 1811 in Bourg la Reine; † 31. Mai 1832 in Paris) war ein französischer Mathematiker. Er starb im Alter von nur 20 Jahren bei einem Duell, erlangte allerdings durch seine Arbeiten zur Lösung… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Galois-Theorie — Galoistheorie ist der Bereich der Algebra, der klassisch die Symmetrien der Nullstellen von Polynomen, das sind die Lösungen (bzw. Wurzeln) der zugehörigen Polynomgleichung, zum Gegenstand hat. Diese Symmetrien werden normalerweise durch Gruppen… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Galois , Evariste — (1811–1832) French mathematician Galois was born at Bourg la Reine, near Paris, during the rule of Napoleon. He entered the Collège Royale de Louis le Grand in Paris in 1823 and it was here that his precocious mathematical genius first emerged.… … Scientists
