Detailed Syllabus

Tanusree Khandai

  • Lecture 1. Chapter 13 (of the old edition) Section 1 and parts of section 2. Recalled topics from Ring Theory (Chapter 10 and Chapter 11 from Artin) on field of fractions, irreducibility criterion, algebraic and transcendental extensions.

  • Lecture 2. Chapter 13, Section 2 of Artin was completed. Besides, simple extensions and multiple extensions was done and the main theorem proved was that every finitely generated algebraic extension of Q is a simple extension.

  • Lecture 3. Chapter 13, Section 3 was discussed. Defined algebraic numbers and proved that the set of algebraic integers in a finite extension of Q forms a ring. The result and proof was then compared with the result that the set of algebraic elements in an extension K over Q is a subfield of K. Degree of extensions of a field and the related problems were discussed.

  • Lecture 4. Chapter 13, Section 4 was discussed. Starting from the basic ruler and compass construction, all the results in Artin was discussed. Then the Gauss-Wantzel's Theorem was proved and it was mentioned that the converse should be regarded as an exercise once the main theorem of Galois is proved.

Jaban Meher

  • Followed Artin's Algebra (old version).

  • Lecture 1: Symbolic adjunction of roots, Multiple roots (some portion) [Section 13.5]

  • Lecture 2: Multiple roots (remaining portion), Finite Field (some portion) [Section 13.6]

  • Lecture 3: Finite Field (remaining portion), Calculating the number of irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_p$ [Section13.6]

  • Lecture 4: Algebraically closed fields, Algebraic closure, Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, One construction of Algebraic closure for $\mathbb{F}_p$ [Section 13.9]

K. Senthil Kumar

  • Lecture 1: started with the classical problem of solving polynomial equations by radicals and informed the students that we shall see at the end of my lectures that this problem has a negative answer. Then I went on to discuss: existence and uniqueness of splitting fields (up to isomorphism), existence and uniqueness of algebraic closures (up to an isomorphism). And examples.

  • Lecture 2: Here I discussed the problem of embedding algebraic extensions into an algebraically closed field. This leads to the study of separable degree and its transitive property, separable extensions and few properties of the class of separable extensions (like the separability of a tower of separable extensions, separability of compositum). And examples.

  • Lecture 3: This lecture was mostly dedicated to normal extensions. We gave three equivalent definitions for normal extensions. We explained that unlike separable extensions, the tower of normal extensions need not always lead to normal extensions. We also introduced Galois extensions and Galois groups. And examples.

  • Lecture 4: In this lecture, I stated and proved the fundamental theorem of Galois theory. Constructed Galois groups of cubic extensions, Artin's proof of C is algebraically closed. We also have shown that there are polynomials for which their Galois group is S_n. And examples.

Parvati Shastri

  • Lecture 1. Brief introduction to the problem of solving polynomials by radicals.  Review of Galois extensions, Galois group, with a lot of examples.  Quadratic, cubic polynomials, biquadratic extensions. Finite  extensions of finite fields are Galois. Cyclotomic fields over the  rationals. Cyclotomic polynomials. Abelian extensions, cyclic  extensions, structure of Galois group of a cyclotomic extension of  the rationals. \\

  • Lecture 2. Fundamental theorem of Galois theory, proof using Artin?s lemma.  Examples. Galois group as subgroup of the symmetric group.  Criterion for Galois group to be contained in the alternating group in  terms of the discriminant. Possible Galois groups of cubics and  quartics. Examples of each possibility were given in tutorials.\\

  • Lecture 3. Construction of regular polygons, revisited. Full proof of Gauss-  Wantzel Theorem. Example of extensions of degree 4 which has no  quadratic subfield. Statement of Galois criterion for solvability by  radicals. Definition and examples of solvable groups. Example of a  polynomial over the rationals whose Galois group is isomorphic to  the symmetric group $S_5$. (Partially done in exercises). Extended  idea of constructing polynomials over the rationals with Galois group  $S_p$, where $p$ is prime bigger or equal to 5. \\  

  • Lecture 4. Fields having enough roots of unity, equivalence of radical and  cyclic extensions over such fields, Kummer Theory. Proof of  Galois criterion. Abel Ruffini Theorem. Mentioned Inverse Galois  problem.
