Galois theory, named after Évariste Galois, provides a connection between field theory and group theory. Using Galois theory, certain problems in field theory can be reduced to group theory, which is, in some sense, simpler and better understood.

Cyclic extensions
An example is given by any cubic Galois extension of $\mathbb{Q}$, e.g. the extension $\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ where $\alpha = \cos \frac{2\pi}{9}$ is a root of $x^3 - 3x + 1$.
This works because if the …

When is $-1$ in the image of a field norm?
Global question: If $p = 1 \bmod 4$, then the element $-1 \in F^\times$ is not a norm from $K^\times$, because $F^\times$ is totally real and $K^\times$ is totally complex; thus $-1$ is not a local no …

Points $\alpha_n$ of $A$ over the $m_n$-th layer in a $\mathbb{Z}_p$-ext. of $K$, where $A$ ...
I suspect that the answer is "no". If you take an elliptic curve with supersingular reduction at $p$, $K$ a sufficiently carefully chosen imaginary quadratic field, and $L / K$ the anticyclotomic $\ma …

Understanding absolute Galois group from its representations
The slogan "number theorists aim to understand $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}} / \mathbb{Q})$" is one that gets used a lot, but it's perhaps a tiny little bit misleading.
Understanding the s …
