Theorem. more statements of the Fundamental Theorem [2303]

Let $K / E$ be a finite Galois extension.

  1. (Inclusion reversing) Suppose that $E_{1}, E_{2}$ are subfields of $K$ containing $F$ and $H_{1}, H_{2}$ are subgroups of $G = \mathrm{Gal}(K / F)$. Then $$\begin{aligned}E_{1} \subseteq E_{2} &\iff \mathrm{Gal}(K / E_{1}) \geq \mathrm{Gal}(K / E_{2}), \\ H_{1} \leq H_{2} &\iff K^{H_{1}} \supseteq K^{H_{2}}\end{aligned}$$

  2. For all $H \leq G$, $K / K^{H}$ is Galois with $\mathrm{Gal}(K / K^{H}) = H$.

    For all $F \subseteq E \subseteq K$, $K / E$ is Galois with $K^{\mathrm{Gal}(K / E)} = E$.

  3. Given $H \leq G = \mathrm{Gal}(K / F)$, $K^{H} / F$ is Galois if and only if $H \trianglelefteq G$. If this is the case, then $\mathrm{Gal}(K^{H} / F) \cong G / H$.

    Given $F \subseteq E \subseteq K$, $E / F$ is Galois if and only if $\mathrm{Gal}(K / E) \trianglelefteq G = \mathrm{Gal}(K / F)$. If this is the case, then $\mathrm{Gal}(E / F) \cong G / \mathrm{Gal}(K / E)$.
