"Understanding" $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$

I'm far from expect in this topic, but here's my attempt. First, and that's something quite straightforward, people want to study Gal Q (this is how I will denote it; this common shortcut is defined …

Field of Definition of a Meromorphic Function

It is not sufficient that the subscheme of poles and zeroes is defined together over $K$, as the example of the function $(z+i)/(z-i):\mathbb P^1 \to \mathbb P^1$, defined only over $\mathbb Q(i)$, il …

Galois groups vs. fundamental groups

You might like the following formal statement. Consider the field F with Galois group Gal. Then (finite) unramified extensions E/F are in 1-1 correspondence with (transitive) actions of Gal on (finite …
