On the automorphism group of the countable dense circular order

J. K. Truss (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let (C,R) be the countable dense circular ordering, and G its automorphism group. It is shown that certain properties of group elements are first order definable in G, and these results are used to reconstruct C inside G, and to demonstrate that its outer automorphism group has order 2. Similar statements hold for the completion C̅.

On the compositum of all degree d extensions of a number field

Itamar Gal, Robert Grizzard (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We study the compositum k [ d ] of all degree d extensions of a number field k in a fixed algebraic closure. We show k [ d ] contains all subextensions of degree less than d if and only if d 4 . We prove that for d > 2 there is no bound c = c ( d ) on the degree of elements required to generate finite subextensions of k [ d ] / k . Restricting to Galois subextensions, we prove such a bound does not exist under certain conditions on divisors of d , but that one can take c = d when d is prime. This question was inspired by work of Bombieri and...
