Galois groups from prime-discriminant radicands #
The genus-field layer of the multiquadratic roadmap uses prime discriminants D but adjoins
square roots of the associated squarefree radicands primeDiscriminantRadicand D: -1, 2,
-2, or an odd prime discriminant itself. The field-generic Galois-group theorem
TauCeti.Multiquadratic.galoisGroupEquiv already identifies the Galois group of a
square-class-independent multiquadratic field with (ℤ/2)ⁿ. This file packages the
prime-discriminant instance, using
TauCeti.Multiquadratic.not_isSquare_prod_primeDiscriminantRadicands for the independence
hypothesis.
Main results #
TauCeti.Multiquadratic.galoisGroupEquivPrimeDiscriminantRadicands: for an injective family of prime discriminants not containing all three even prime discriminants, the Galois group of the field generated by roots of their radicands isMultiplicative (ι → ZMod 2).TauCeti.Multiquadratic.card_aut_adjoin_roots_primeDiscriminantRadicands: the corresponding cardinality statement.
The Galois group from prime-discriminant radicands is (ℤ/2)ⁿ. For an injective
family of prime discriminants D : ι → ℤ which does not contain all three even prime
discriminants -4, 8, and -8, and chosen roots of their squarefree radicands, the Galois
group of the generated multiquadratic field is Multiplicative (ι → ZMod 2). This is the
prime-discriminant instance of the field-generic galoisGroupEquiv.
Instances For
The prime-discriminant Galois equivalence sends an automorphism to its sign pattern on the chosen radicand roots.
The inverse prime-discriminant Galois equivalence realizes a sign pattern by sending each
chosen generator to (-1)^(ε i) times that generator.
Cardinality of the Galois group from prime-discriminant radicands. Under the same
prime-discriminant hypotheses, |Gal(ℚ(rootᵢ : i)/ℚ)| = 2^|ι|.
