Galois theory for cyclotomic fields #
In this file, we study the Galois theory of cyclotomic extensions of ℚ.
Let n be an integer. There is an isomorphism between Gal(ℚ(ζₙ)/ℚ) and (ℤ/nℤ)ˣ that sends σ
to a_σ such that σ (ζₙ) = ζₙ ^ a_σ.
Following [Washington][washington.cyclotomic], we define the bijection between subfields
of ℚ(ζₙ) and subgroups of the group Xₙ of Dirichlet characters of level n such that
F corresponds to Y if and only if the subgroup H of (ℤ/nℤ)ˣ corresponding to F by
the above isomorphism is the orthogonal of Y for the nondegenerate pairing on (ℤ/nℤ)ˣ × Xₙ
defined by (n, χ) ↦ χ n.
