Subfields of the fifteenth cyclotomic field
ID: subfields-of-the-fifteenth-cyclotomic-field
The Cyclotomic character of a finite cyclotomic extension and the Chinese remainder theorem give the displayed Galois group. It has three order-two subgroups and three order-four subgroups; the latter are kernels of its three nonzero group homomorphisms to . By the Fundamental theorem of Galois theory, its proper intermediate fields strictly above are the three quadratic fieldsand the three quartic fieldsThe first quartic has cyclic Galois group of order four and unique quadratic subfield ; the second is a biquadratic extension, so they differ. The last is real whereas the others are not, by the maximal real subfield of a cyclotomic field formula. Also generates the second quartic: if , then and .
