Proving a subgroup of a Galois group is normal












1














"Let $N/K$ be a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G =
Gal(N/K)$.



Let $M$ be an intermediate field of the extension, let
$E = Gal(N/M)$, and let $F = cap_{sigma in G} σEσ^{-1}$
.



Show that $F$ is a normal subgroup of $G$"



Where do I even begin here?



I know for all $sigma in G$, $F subset sigma E sigma ^{-1}$, so $sigma ^{-1} F sigma subset E$, so $F$ is a subgroup of $E$ under conjugation? Is this true?



Now how do I prove $F$ is normal?

  • Have you shown that $F$ is normal in $G$?

This is just an exercise n group theory: take a group $;G;$ , a subgroup $;Hle G;$ and form what's called the core of $;H;$ , merely: the subgroup $;bigcap_{xin G}xHx^{-1};$ . You can read about this in the web, but we can also do as follows:



Let $;X:=Hbackslash G;$ be the set of left cosets of $;H;$ in $;G;$ , and define an action of $;G;$ on $;X;$ as follows: $;gcdot xH:=(gx)H;$ . It's easy to check this is indeed an action. As usual, this action determines a homomorphism $;phi:Gto Sym_Xcong S_n;$ , when $;n=[G:H];$ , by the rule $;phi g(xH):=;(gx)H$ (you only have to convince yourself that the above actually determines a permutation on $;Sym_X;$ for any $;gin G$ ).



Well, it is now a nice exercise to prove:



$$begin{align*}(1);;&kerphi=bigcap_{xin G}xHx^{-1}\{}\(2);; &kerphi;;text{is the maximal normal subgroup of $;G;$ contained in $H$}end{align*}$$



Give a try to the above two claims

  • Let's assume we have no idea what the core of H is, so cannot use the other definitions of it. How would go about proving the question?

    @Dino Exactly as proposed above: show it is the kernel of a homomorphism and voila: you have it is normal! To show it is contained in $;H;$ is very easy (apply one element of the kernel to the left coset $;H;$ in $;X;$ ...)

Die in einem Bogen durch eine Grünanlage hangaufwärts führende Straße verbindet die Wakenitzmauer mit der Burgtorbrücke. Geschichte | Der heutige Ida-Boy-Ed-Garten wurde ursprünglich als Verlängerung der Wakenitzmauer angelegt. 1903 wurde in den erhaltenen Teil der mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer, an dem die Wakenitzmauer bei der Einmündung der Kaiserstraße begann, ein Tor mit einem großen Bogen für die Durchführung der Straße und zwei kleineren seitlichen Öffnungen für Fußgänger gebrochen, um für die neu errichteten Wohnhäuser in diesem Bereich ...
