Proposition. construction and uniqueness of Galois closure [22020]

Let $K / F$ be a separable extension and $S$ be a subset of $K$ such that $K = F(S)$. Fix an algebraic closure $\overline{K} = \overline{F}$. Let $S' \subseteq \overline{F}$ be the subset consisting of roots of $m_{\alpha, F}(x), \alpha \in S$.

  1. $F(S')$ is Galois closure of $K$ over $F$.
  2. If $L$ is a Galois closure of $K$ over $F$, then there exists a field isomorphism $\varphi : L \to F(S')$ such that $\varphi |_{K} = \operatorname{id}_{K}$. Moreover, if $L \subseteq \overline{F}$, then $L = F(S')$.
  3. $$F(S') = \bigcap_{\begin{aligned}&K \subseteq L \subseteq \overline{F} \\ &L / F \text{ Galois}\end{aligned}} L.$$
