Decomposition of Galois group into direct product using the main theorem

I have a question concerning the main theorem of Galois theory: If $K$ is a field with finite Galois extensions $M,Z$, so that $K\subset M\subset Z$, the theorem says that $$Gal(Z/K)/Gal(Z/M)\cong Gal(...

How to interpret "multiplication" in this representation of $GF(2)$?

Most students' first encounter with the concept of "isomorphism" -- probably long before they learn the word -- comes from recognizing that the rules for adding odd and even numbers have the ...

For any $n$, does there exist a Galois extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ with Galois group elementary abelian of rank $n$?

Conjecture My Conjecture: Suppose that $A = \{1,2,3,...,n\}$ where $n \in \mathbb{Z}^+$. Then there always exists $E/ \mathbb{Q}$ such that $\mathcal{P}(A) \cong \text{Gal}(E/\mathbb{Q})$. Moreover, ...

Isogeny, isomorphism and point correspondence between elliptic curve and its sextic twist

Let's have an elliptic curve $E$ defined as $y^2=x^3+b$ in a finite field with prime characteristic $p$ and its sextic twist $E_6$. On both curves, let's choose a "generator" point $P$ (resp....

Group law of elliptic curves on finite fields

If the underlying field is $\mathbb{C}$, there is a bijective map between a given elliptic curve and $\mathbb{C} \mathbin{/} \Lambda$, where $\Lambda$ is a lattice uniquely determined by the elliptic ...

Isomorphisms of $GF(2)$ [closed]

The additive group of $GF(2)$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}2/\mathbb{Z}$ under addition with the "carryless" addition taken modulo 2. An appropriate relabelling of the elements ($0 \rightarrow 1$ and ...

Elliptic curve group of $y^2 = x^3 + 2x + 3$ over $\mathbb{F}_5$

Let $E$ be the elliptic curve of $y^2 = x^3 + 2x + 3$ over $\mathbb{F}_5$. The points of this are $$E(\mathbb{F}_5) = \{\infty, (1,1), (1, 4), (2, 0), (3, 1), (3, 4), (4, 0)\}.$$ I thought that this ...

If $A$ is of characteristic $p$ :Then in $A[x]$ we have, $[a(x)+b(x)]^p=a(x)^p+b(x)^p$

Why, if $A$ has characteristic $p$, is the following part of a proof incorrect: Proving if $\text{char}(A)=p$ then in $A[x]$, $(x+c)^p=x^p+c^p$: $(x+c)^p=x^p+c^p$ in $A[x]$ because $(a+c)^p=a^p+c^p$ ...

How to determine all the isomorphisms

I am trying to find all the isomorphisms from the representation modulo p(x), where $$p(x) = X^3 + X^2 + X + 2,$$ to the representation modulo q(Y), where $$q(y) = Y^3 + 2Y^2 + 1,$$ in $$ GF(3^3) $$ ...

$SL_2(q)$ is isomorphic to $SU_2(q)$.

I have seen at least twice in literature that $SU_2(q) \cong SL_2(q)$. How can we actually prove that these two groups are isomorphic? The problem I see is that $SL_2(q)$ is defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$...

Does two's complement arithmetic produce a field isomorphic to $GF(2^{n}$)?

From what I understand, we have these two isomorphisms: $(TC, +)$ is isomorphic to the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}/2^n\mathbb{Z}$. $(TC, *)$ is isomorphic to the multiplicative group of polynomials. If ...

What is the isomorphism between the fields $(Z_2[x]^{<3},+_{x^3+x^2+1},\times_{x^3+x^2+1})$ and $(Z_2[x]^{<3},+_{x^3+x+1},\times_{x^3+x+1})$? [closed]

They are both Galois fields of order 8. I'm not exactly sure what the question means - how does one determine/describe an isomorphism?

If $\phi$ : $F_2[X]/(X^3+X+1)$ $\rightarrow$ $F_2[X]/(X^3+X^2+1)$ is an isomorphism, then prove that $\phi(a)=b+1$, with $a$, $b$ the classes of $X$ [duplicate]

Consider two fields: $K: $ $F_2[X]/(X^3+X+1)$. Let $a$ be the class of $X$ (so $a=X+(X^3+X+1))$ $L: $ $F_2[X]/(X^3+X^2+1)$. Let $b$ be the class of $X$ (so $b=X+(X^3+X^2+1))$ $F_2$ denotes the ...
