Let $K \subset L$ be a finite Galois extension, $\sigma$ an automorphism of $L$ (not necessarily fixing $K$) and let $E$ be a finite-dimensional vector space over $L$ together with …

The technique of faithfully flat descent, and, in the case of vector spaces, Galois descent has been used quite a bit in Algebraic Geometry. However, the question of whether, say, …

Hello, Let $X$ be a scheme of finite type over a field $k$. Let $l$ be an Galois extension of $k$ with Galois group $\Gamma$, and $\overline{X}$ be the base change of $X$ from $k$ …

EDIT: Question solved. Let me explain what I mean. The classical formulation of Galois descent, e. g. in Crawley-Boevey's "Cohomology and central simple algebras", uses the fol …

Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with Galois group $G$ and $V$ a $L$-vector space, on which $G$ acts by $K$-automorphisms satisfying $g(\lambda v)=g(\lambda) g(v)$. It is kno …
