Exercise 8.1.8 (Galois and Fix not mutually inverse)
Let be a prime number, let , and let be the splitting field of over , as in Examples 7.2.4 and 7.2.19(ii). Prove that and are not mutually inverse.
Answers
Solution: We have that and , hence as in Example 7.2.19 (ii) we have that , where is prime. This means that , and hence by the tower law we know that there are no trivial intermediate fields, hence . We have that and by by Corollary 6.3.14 we that , hence . This means that . Therefore we can clearly see that it is impossible for there to be mutually inverse function between and .

O.K., but there is a misprint: $|\mathscr{F}| = |\{M,K\}| = 2$ and not $p$.richardganaye • 2024-06-03
