Mar 27, 2018 at 23:04 comment added user122285 @Filippo Alberto Edoardo, In the case of number fields we, of course, have more to play with since we have an infinite collection of intertwined posets reflecting local-global interactions.
Mar 27, 2018 at 23:01 comment added user122285 @Filippo Alberto Edoardo, thanks for bringing out the implicit question: how much can be learnt about a group from studying its action on the poset of its subgroups, especially when the poset is topologized, thus bringing cohomological methods in play?
Mar 25, 2018 at 10:05 comment added Filippo Alberto Edoardo I am definitely not an expert in group actions on posets, but I suspect that nothing interest would come out when applying Galois to the poset of subfields. Every extension $L/Q$ (where $Q=\mathbb{Q}$ or $Q=\mathbb{Q}_p$) which is Galois would be fixed by the action, and more generally every extension $L/Q$ could only be sent to a conjugate $L'$. By the Galois correspondance, this is just a group acting on the poset of its subgroups, which doesn't say much on the group itself, I guess (it is here where I might be wrong). In a way, one is simply studying $G_Q$ by looking at its quotients.
