Hence $L$ is isomorphic to $K$ but not equal. </p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/114227/a-problem-about-field-extension/114231#114231 Answer by bo.gu for a problem about field extension bo.gu 2012-11-23T10:03:58Z 2012-11-23T10:06:32Z <p>If K and L are F-field extensions, K/F and L/F are both finite dimensional, and the isomorphism from K to L is an F-homomorphism, then the proof is easy, but the general case seems difficult. </p>
