Algebra and Galois Theories

Galois theory has such close analogies with the theory of coverings that algebraists use a geometric language to speak of field extensions, while topologists speak of "Galois coverings". This book endeavors to develop these theories in a parallel way, sta

Introduction

Similarities between Galois theory and the theory of covering spaces are so striking that algebraists use geometric language to talk of field extensions whereas topologists talk of Galois covers. Here we have tried to develop these theories in parallel, beginning with that of coverings. The reader will thereby be better able to visualize. This similarity can sometimes be found in specific formulations: (4.5.5) Proof of the proposition. Let u : . SðXÞ ! SðYÞ be a morphism in GThere is a morphism u : E  SðXÞ ! E  SðYÞ defined by u ðt; sÞ ¼ ðt; uðsÞÞ corresponding to the morphism u. The morphism u is compatible with the G-operation ? …

(5.7.4) Proof of the proposition. Let u : . SðBÞ ! SðAÞ be a morphism in GThere is a morphism of L-algebras u : LSðAÞ ! LSðBÞ defined by u ðhÞ ¼ h  u corresponding to u. The homomorphism u is compatible with th
