Example 6.18. from the book of Algebra by Aluffi












2














The question is from (Chapter VII) Aluffi's Algebra:




Example 6.18. : Let $k$ be any field of characteristic zero. The splitting field of $x^n−1$ over $k$ is the composite $k(ζ)$ of $k$ and $mathbb{Q}(ζ)$. By Proposition 6.17 the extension $k ⊆ k(ζ)$ is Galois, and $Aut_k(k(ζ))$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of the group of units of $mathbb{Z}/nmathbb{Z}$.



Proposition 6.17. Suppose $k ⊆ F$ is a Galois extension, and $k ⊆ K$ is any finite extension. Then $K ⊆ KF$ is a Galois extension, and $Aut_K(KF) cong Aut_{F∩K}(F)$.




I am confused how Proposition 6.17. is used in Example 6.18. :



i. First of all, about using different notations: $k$ as a field of characteristic zero in Example 6.18 is $K$ is Proposition 6.17.; and probably (?) $mathbb{Q}$ in Example 6.18 is $k$ is Proposition 6.17.; what about the rest?



ii. If I am right with notations, $KF$ corresponds to $k(ζ)$, but how $kmathbb{Q}(ζ)=k(ζ)$? What does "the composite $k(ζ)$ of $k$ and $mathbb{Q}(ζ)$" mean?



iii. Letting the considered field of characteristic zero be $mathbb{Z}$. Could you re-explain Example 6.18. for this specific case $k=mathbb{Z}$? (esp how $mathbb{Q}$ can be extended to $mathbb{Z}$?(!)
