Define for every . In characteristic , all intermediate binomial coefficients vanish, so ; multiplicativity and preservation of one are immediate. If , then and the field property gives . Thus this field homomorphism is injective, and finiteness makes it surjective. It is therefore a field automorphism, sending to as required.
