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.

$A_5$-extension of number fields unramified everywhere
Here's the standard example. I found it in Lang's Algebraic Number Theory
where he attributes it to Artin. Let $K$ be the splitting field of $X^5-X+1$
over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then $K$ has Galois group $S_5 …

Why is every quadratic subfield of a Galois extension of the rationals with the quaternions ...
To expand slightly my brief comment. Regard $L$ as a subfield
of $\mathbb{C}$. Let $L'=\mathbb{R}\cap L$. Then the index
$|L:L'|=1$ or $2$. In the former case all quadratic subfields of
$L$ are real. …

When is sin(r \pi) expressible in radicals for r rational?
As $\cos x=\pm\sqrt{1-\sin^2 x}$ and $e^{ix}=\cos x +i\sin x$, and
$\sin x=(e^{ix}-1/e^{ix})/2i$ then $\sin x$ is in a radical extension of $\mathbb{Q}$
iff $e^{ix}$ is. For rational $r$ with denomina …

Fields with trivial automorphism group
There are examples involving the $p$-adics: for instance $\mathbb{Q}_p$
itself has trivial automorphism group. Indeed as $\mathbb{Q}(i)$
embeds in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ when $p\equiv1$ (mod 4) then $\mathbb{ …

Is there a notion of Galois extension for Z / p^2?
There's the notion of Galois ring. Let $K$ be the degree $m$
unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$
and let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. Then the quotient
$R=\mathcal{O}_K/p^n\mathcal{O}_ …

Galois group of a product of irreducible polynomials
The Galois group of $P$ will be a subdirect product of
the $G_i$, that is a subgroup of $G_1\times\cdots\times G_k$
projecting surjectively onto each of the $G_i$.

What are Mean Values of Ideal Densities in Galois Extensions?
This may be a reference to the the Davenport-Heilbronn theorem
on the distribution of discriminants of number fields.
See
math.stanford.edu/~fthorne/davenport-heilbronn.pdf
for a nice exposition. Str …

A special integral polynomial
An easy way to ensure that a polynomial $g$ of degree $m$ over $\mathbf{Z}$ has
Galois group $S_m$ is to take primes $p_1$, $p_2$ and $p_3$
with $g$ irreducible modulo $p_1$, a linear times an irreduc …
