Let E a field , the group of all automorfisms is . If F is a subset of E , then one automorfism that leaves all the elements of F invariant (
, for every a
) , is called F-automorfism. The set of all F-automorfism is called
and is a sub-group of the group of
.
Let G a sub-group of of the field E. We call
the set of all the invariant elements of E according to G-elements , thus :
FixG = {a | a , and
, for every
}.
The set FixG is a field , sub-field of E and is called fixed field of the group G.The fixed field of G(E,F) contains F and does not necessarily is the same field.
more on FIxG later , we will see some interesting applications with respect to the roots of a polynomial over a field.
