    Finite normal extensions of perfect fields are Galois

    T-SGY3O

    Over a perfect field, finite normal extensions and polynomial splitting fields are Galois.Suggest a slogan

    Let \(k\) be a field.

    • If \(\ch k = 0\) or \(k\) is finite, then \(k\) is perfect; in particular \(\CC\), \(\RR\), \(\QQ\), and \(\FF_p\) for \(p\) prime are perfect.

    • If \(k\) is perfect, then every finite normal extension of \(k\) is Galois.

    • If \(k\) is perfect, then the splitting field over \(k\) of every nonconstant polynomial \(f\in k[x]\) is Galois over \(k\).
