Quartic exercises

A correspondence between quartic étale algebras over a field and quadratic étale extensions of cubic étale algebras is set up and investigated. The basic constructions are laid out in general for sets with a profinite group action and for torsors, and translated in terms of étale algebras and Galois...

description A correspondence between quartic étale algebras over a field and quadratic étale extensions of cubic étale algebras is set up and investigated. The basic constructions are laid out in general for sets with a profinite group action and for torsors, and translated in terms of étale algebras and Galois algebras. A parametrization of cyclic quartic algebras is given.
