Proof with Galois theory that $K(sqrt alpha) = K(sqrt beta)$ if and only if it exists $gamma$ with $alpha =...

Let E/K be a field extension, $1+1neq0$ in K and $alpha$, $beta in K^x={a in K |, exists , b: ab = ba =1}$.



Proof with Galois theory: $K(sqrt alpha) = K(sqrt beta) Leftrightarrow exists , gamma in K^x : alpha = gamma^2beta$




Got so far that $sqrt alpha, sqrt beta notin K Rightarrow [K(sqrt alpha):K]= 2 =[K(sqrt beta):K] overset{char(K) neq 2}Rightarrow K(sqrt alpha), K(sqrt beta)$ are galois.

          $implies$: Assuming $K(sqrtalpha) = K(sqrtbeta)$.



          If $sqrtalpha = xin K$, then $K(sqrtalpha) = K$, so we have $sqrtbetain K$. Set $gamma = frac{sqrtalpha}{sqrtbeta}$ and we're done.



          Otherwise, we have $sqrtalphain K(sqrtbeta)$. In other words, there are $x, yin K$ such that
          $$
          sqrtalpha = x + ysqrtbeta\
          alpha = x^2 + beta y^2 + 2xysqrtbeta
          $$
          From this we can deduce that $2xy = 0$, which because $1+1neq 0$ gives us $xy = 0$, meaning either $x = 0$ or $y = 0$. However, $sqrtalphanotin K$ implies $yneq 0$, so we must have $x = 0$. Set $gamma = y$, and we're done.



          $Longleftarrow,$: Assuming $alpha = gamma^2beta$.



          We have $sqrtalpha = gammasqrtbeta in K(sqrtbeta)$ and $sqrtbeta = sqrtalpha/gammain K(sqrtalpha)$, meaning the two fields must be the same.

            What do you mean by "application of Galois theory".? If you admit that Kummer theory (see any text book) is contained in Galois theory, then you can apply it directly. For a summary of Kummer theory, see e.g. math.stackexchange.com/a/1609061/300700

          What do you mean by "application of Galois theory".? If you admit that Kummer theory (see any text book) is contained in Galois theory, then you can apply it directly. For a summary of Kummer theory, see e.g. math.stackexchange.com/a/1609061/300700

          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 ...

          Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

          Image
          0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"...

          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. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
