On the combinatorics of Young-Capelli symmetrizers.
We study the compositum of all degree extensions of a number field in a fixed algebraic closure. We show contains all subextensions of degree less than if and only if . We prove that for there is no bound on the degree of elements required to generate finite subextensions of . Restricting to Galois subextensions, we prove such a bound does not exist under certain conditions on divisors of , but that one can take when is prime. This question was inspired by work of Bombieri and...
If is a transitive permutation group of degree with cyclic point-stabilizer, then the order of is at most .
