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, which is in some sense simpler and better understood.
Évariste Galois (/ ɡ æ l ˈ w ɑː /; French: [evaʁist ɡalwa]; 25 October 1811 – 31 May 1832) was a French mathematician.While still in his teens, he was able to determine a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals, thereby solving a problem standing for 350 years.
The goal of this book is to present several central topics in geometric group theory, primarily related to the large scale geometry of infinite groups and spaces on which such groups act, and to illustrate them with fundamental theorems such as Gromov’s Theorem on groups of polynomial growth.
These notes give a concise exposition of the theory of fields, including the Galois theory of finite and infinite extensions and the theory of transcendental extensions.
The 19th Century saw an unprecedented increase in the breadth and complexity of mathematical concepts. Both France and Germany were caught up in the age of revolution which swept Europe in the late 18th Century, but the two countries treated mathematics quite differently.
Group Action. A group is said to act on a set when there is a map such that the following conditions hold for all elements .. 1. where is the identity element of .. 2. for all .
A polynomial is a mathematical expression involving a sum of powers in one or more variables multiplied by coefficients. A polynomial in one variable (i.e., a univariate polynomial) with constant coefficients is given by a_nx^n++a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0.
