In mathematics, the absolute Galois group GK of a field K is the Galois group of Ksep over K, where Ksep is a separable closure of K. Alternatively it is the group of all automorphisms of the algebraic closure of K that fix K. The absolute Galois group is well-defined up to inner automorphism. It is a profinite group. (When K is a perfect field, Ksep is the same as an algebraic closure Kalg of K. This holds e.g. for K of characteristic zero, or K a finite field.) (Wikipedia).
FIT4.1. Galois Group of a Polynomial
EDIT: There was an in-video annotation that was erased in 2018. My source (Herstein) assumes characteristic 0 for the initial Galois theory section, so separability is an automatic property. Let's assume that unless noted. In general, Galois = separable plus normal. Field Theory: We

Visual Group Theory, Lecture 6.4: Galois groups The Galois group Gal(f(x)) of a polynomial f(x) is the automorphism group of its splitting field. The degree of a chain of field extensions satisfies a "tower law", analogous to the tower law for the index of a chain of subgroups. This hints

Galois theory: Infinite Galois extensions
This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We show how to extend Galois theory to infinite Galois extensions. The main difference is that the Galois group has a topology, and intermediate field extensions now correspond to closed subgroups of the Galois group. We

This lecture is part of an online course on Galois theory. This is an introductory lecture, giving an informal overview of Galois theory. We discuss some historical examples of problems that it was used to solve, such as the Abel-Ruffini theorem that degree 5 polynomials cannot in genera

Galois theory: Algebraic closure
This lecture is part of an online graduate course on Galois theory. We define the algebraic closure of a field as a sort of splitting field of all polynomials, and check that it is algebraically closed. We hen give a topological proof that the field C of complex numbers is algebraically
