Topic: Extensions of finite fields are Galois?


Michael Stoll (May 21 2022 at 22:17):

I can't find the statement that extensions of finite fields are Galois in mathlib. I would think it should be there, though.

Thomas Browning (May 21 2022 at 22:21):

Can't find it either on a first glance, but it should be easy from the following:
docs#is_galois.of_separable_splitting_field
docs#galois_poly_separable
docs#galois_field.has_sub.sub.polynomial.is_splitting_field or docs#galois_field.is_splitting_field_of_card_eq

I don't claim it's difficult; my claim is that it should be there. I'll try to put a proof together tomorrow and set up a PR.

I hope you don't mind me beating you to it :)

Michael Stoll (May 22 2022 at 13:27):

Not at all!
I've left a comment asking for a more general instance, though.

Mauricio Collares (May 22 2022 at 13:45):

Perhaps you started a review but didn't finish it yet? Comments from an in-progress review don't show up to other people, and I can't see yours in the above PR (might be my fault, though).

Michael Stoll (May 22 2022 at 13:51):

Sorry, hit the wrong button. It should be a comment now.
