The Fundamental theorem of Galois theory applies to a finite Galois extension with group . It gives inclusion-reversing inverse bijectionsThe fixed field consists of elements fixed by every member of . Moreover and . An intermediate extension is Galois iff is normal, in which case restriction gives . All intermediate are themselves Galois. Finiteness and normality/separability of are essential for this stated form.
