07 some irreducible polynomials
... By Lagrange, the order of any element of K × is a divisor of p2 − 1, but 5 does not divide p2 − 1, so there is no element in K of order 5. That is, there is no quadratic irreducible factor. By additivity of degrees in products, lack of factors up to half the degree of a polynomial assures that the p ...

... The note above immediately proves the following result. Theorem 57. If a and b are nonzero elements in the commutative ring R such that (a, b) = (d), then d = gcd(a, b). Note 58. It is important to point out that the theorem above is giving us a sufficient condition, but it is not necessary. For exa ...

Finite Abelian Groups as Galois Groups
... for finite abelian groups. Recall that the Inverse Galois Problem is stated as follows: Given a finite group G, is there a Galois extension Q ⊆ K such Gal(K/Q) = G? The crucial point in the problem is that the base field is Q, since given any finite group G, there is a Galois extension of fields F ⊆ ...
