The one-dimensional affine group over consists of maps with .
For an odd prime , the splitting field
of has Galois group
The translation subgroup multiplies by powers of , while the multiplicative subgroup acts on by cyclotomic automorphisms.
Let be the subgroup of nonzero squares in . The affine maps
form the nonabelian semidirect product , with multiplication
This group has seven conjugacy classes: the identity; two classes of five nonidentity translations, distinguished by square class of the translation parameter; and, for each of the four , one class of size eleven.
