Let [Formula: see text] be an irreducible polynomial with rational coefficients, [Formula: see text] the number field defined by [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] the Galois group of [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be the Galois group of [Formula: see text]. We investigate the extent to which knowledge of the conjugacy class of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] determines the conjugacy class of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. We show that, in general, knowledge of [Formula: see text] does not automatically determine [Formula: see text], except when [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] (the cyclic group of order 4). In this case, we show [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to a non-split extension of [Formula: see text] (the dihedral group of order 8) by [Formula: see text]. We also show that [Formula: see text] is completely determined when [Formula: see text] is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a perfect square. In this case, [Formula: see text].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
