Galois theory for cyclotomic fields #
In this file, we study the Galois theory of cyclotomic extensions of ℚ.
Main definitions and results #

The isomorphism between Gal(ℚ(ζₙ)/ℚ) and (ℤ/nℤ)ˣ that sends σ to the class a such that
σ (ζₙ) = ζₙ ^ a.
Instances For
Let m ∣ n. Then, the following diagram commutes:
Gal(ℚ(ζₙ)/ℚ) → (ℤ/nℤ)ˣ
↓ ↓
Gal(ℚ(ζₘ)/ℚ) → (ℤ/mℤ)ˣ
where the horizontal maps are galEquivZMod, the left map is the restriction map and the right map
is the natural map.
