Instructions: The test is 60 minutes in length.




\begin{enumerate}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\item (20 pts) Assume $\F$ is a subfield of the complex numbers,
  i.e. $\F\subset \C$. Assume $\sigma_1,\sigma_2,\sigma_3$ are
  three monomorphisms from $ \F\rightarrow \C$. Assume we have
  the identity $\sigma_3(x)=2\sigma_2(x)-\sigma_1(x)$ for all
  $x\in\F$. What can you say about these three monomorphisms.
  Explain.
  
  
  \newpage
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\item (10 pts) Write down an irreducible polynomial which is not
  separable. Explain why your example has the stated properties.
  
  \vfill
  
  (10 pts) Write down an irreducible polynomial which is not
  normal. Explain why your example has the stated properties.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\item (10 pts) Describe in detail the splitting field of the
  polynomial $x^5-1\in\Q[x]$.
 
  \vfill
 
  
  (10 pts) Compute the Galois group and write down the Galois
  correspondence indicating on one side the subgroups of the
  Galois group and on the other side the corresponding subfields.
  \vfill

  
  \newpage
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\item (10 pts) Compute the normal closure $N$ of the field
  extension $\Q\left(\sqrt[3]{2}\right)\supset\Q$ inside the
  complex numbers $\C$.

  
  \vfill


  
  (10 pts) Compute the Galois group $\Gamma[N:\Q]$. Hint: You
  either can describe the Galois group in an explicit way or you
  can find it by some general arguments.

  
  \vfill
  
  \newpage
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\item (20 pts) Let $GF(1024)$ be the finite field of $1024$
  elements.  Describe explicitly the automorphisms of the Galois
  group $\Gamma [GF(1024):{\mathbb Z}_2]$. Then work out the
  Galois correspondence indicating on one side the subgroups of
  $\Gamma$ and on the other side the subfields of $GF(1024)$.
