A simple proof of the fundamental theorem of Galois theory
Abstract
We present a simple proof of the fundamental theorem of Galois theory, which establishes a correspondence between the intermediate fields of a finite Galois extension and the subgroups of its Galois group. The proof is based on the combinatorial fact that a field cannot be expressed as the union of finitely many proper subfields.
