    What is the automorphism group of the field K=Q(21/4)?

    Homework Statement Let K = Q(21/4) Determine the automorphism group Aut(K/Q) Homework Equations An automorphism is an isomorphism from a Field to itself Aut(K/Q) is the group of Automorphisms from k/Q to K/Q Definition: A K-Homomorphism from L/K to L'/K is a homomorphism...

    Galois Theory questions: Homomorphisms

    Let K = Q(2^(1/4)) a) Which of the morphisms from K to C are Q(2^1/2)-homomorphisms b) And which are K-homomorphisms? Attempt at a solution Ok, I don't really understand this very well but for a) I know that there are 4 homomorphisms, since the minimal polynomial over C has four...

    How Many Homomorphisms Can Be Calculated Between Different Fields?

    Thanks meandonlyme , for b) could I put x7 - 3 into Q[X]/(X8 + 4X5 - 6X + 2) (which is x7 - 3 still) and then calculate the number of roots in there: 1 since it is over Q. So there is one root and hence one homomorphism. Similarly for c) and d)

    How Many Homomorphisms Can Be Calculated Between Different Fields?

    Hi, I am trying to calculate the number of homomorphisms from one field to another: a) F2 ---> F3 b) Q[X]/(X7 - 3) ---> Q[X]/(X8 + 4X5 - 6X + 2) c) F7 [X] / (X2 + X - 1) ---> F7[X] / (X2 + 1) d) Q( 21/4 ) ---> C Attempt at a solution a) I'm pretty sure there are no homomorphisms between F2...
