Abstract

In this chapter, we look briefly at families of binomials and their splitting fields and Galois groups. We have seen that when the base field F contains a primitive nth root of unity, cyclic extensions of degree d | n correspond to splitting fields of a single binomial xnu. More generally, we will see that abelian extensions correspond to splitting fields of families of binomials. We will also address the issue of when two families of binomials have the same splitting field.
