$F$-Automorphism of $F(w)$ induces automorphism on ${1,w,w^2,…,w^{n-1} }$ only if $w$ primitive n-th root?












1












$begingroup$


I just stumble across a theorem in Galois theory, that says that if F is a field of characteristic p and $w$ is a primitive n-th root of unity with $p nmid n$ than if we take a $F$-automorphism $sigma$ of $F(w)$, then $sigma$ induces an automorphism $sigma_0$ of ${1,w,w^2,...,w^{n-1}}$ by restricting $sigma$ to this set. But I was wondering : What could go wrong if $w$ was just an algebraic element over $F$ and not a primitive root of unity?

    The point is that ${1,w,w^2,ldots, w^{n-1}}$ is a group under multiplication. This clearly is not the case when $w$ is just algebraic.

    @freakish: Surely the powers of any element of $F(w)$ form a group under multiplication irrespective of whether $w$ is a root of unity or not. I think this is more about the group of units of order dividing $n$ being unique, and hence fixed by $sigma$ (as a set).

    $begingroup$
    So what could wrong is that unless $w$ has finite order it may happen that $sigma(w)$ is not a power of $w$ at all. For example, let $F=Bbb{F}_2(x)$ be a field of rational functions, $x$ transcental over the prime field. Assume that $w$ satisfies the equation $w^2+w=x$. Then $w$ is algebraic over $F$ and the only non-trivial automorphism of $F(w)/F$ is determined by $sigma(w)=w+1$. We cannot have $w+1=w^k$ for any $kinBbb{Z}$ for then $w$ would be algebraic over the prime field.

    Thanks, but why the only non-trivial F-automorphism is $sigma(w)=w+1$? Shouldn't it send $w$ to a root of the minimal polynomial $y^2+y-x$?

    The roots of $y^2+y-x$ are $w$ and $w+1$. Characteristic two is essential.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
