The Fundamental Theorem of Infinite Galois Theory

In this file, we prove the fundamental theorem of infinite Galois theory and the special case for open subgroups and normal subgroups. We first verify that IntermediateField.fixingSubgroup and IntermediateField.fixedField are inverses of each other between intermediate fields and closed subgroups of the Galois group.

Main definitions and results

In K/k, for any intermediate field L :

• fixingSubgroup_isClosed : the subgroup fixing L (Gal(K/L)) is closed.

• fixedField_fixingSubgroup : the field fixed by the subgroup fixing L is equal to L itself.

For any subgroup H of Gal(K/k) :

• restrict_fixedField : For a Galois intermediate field M, the fixed field of the image of H restricted to M is equal to the fixed field of H intersected with M.
• fixingSubgroup_fixedField : If H is closed, the fixing subgroup of the fixed field of H is equal to H itself.

The fundamental theorem of infinite Galois theory :

• IntermediateFieldEquivClosedSubgroup : The order equivalence is given by mapping any intermediate field L to the subgroup fixing L, and the inverse maps any closed subgroup of Gal(K/k) H to the fixed field of H. The composition is equal to the identity as described in the lemmas above, and compatibility with the order follows easily.

Special cases :

• isOpen_iff_finite : The fixing subgroup of an intermediate field L is open if and only if L is finite-dimensional.

• normal_iff_isGalois : The fixing subgroup of an intermediate field L is normal if and only if L is Galois.

For a subgroup H of Gal(K/k), the fixed field of the image of H under the restriction to a normal intermediate field E is equal to the fixed field of H in K intersecting with E.
