**************Question removedLet $a$, $b$ be positive rational numbers such that $b$ is not the square of a rational number and $a^2-b$ is not a cube. Are these conditions sufficient to insure that the field ${\bf Q}(\sqrt[3]{a+\sqrt{b}})$ has a single non-trivial subfield and is there a way of showing that the only non-trivial subfield of ${\bf Q}(\sqrt[3]{a+\sqrt{b}})$ is ${\bf Q}(\sqrt{b})$ without computing the Galois group of the normal closure?
If there exists a subfield of degree 3, it must be ${\bf Q}(\sqrt[3]{a^2-b})$ by a norm argument, but I can't see how to conclude from this.
