Fixed fields of Frobenius twists #
Let C ⊆ L ⊆ N, let C be algebraically closed in N, and let
S / C be a finite Galois extension of finite fields. The exact constant
extension T = S ⊗[C] N has Galois group
Gal(T/L) ≃ Gal(S/C) × Gal(N/L).
For g ∈ Gal(N/L), this file constructs the automorphism of T represented
by (Frob, g), its cyclic subgroup, and its fixed field. If
|Gal(N/L)| divides [S : C], the cyclic subgroup has order [S : C]
and meets the original function-field factor trivially. Consequently T
is a finite Galois extension of the twist field of degree [S : C], while
the twist field has degree [N : L] over L.
These are the structural assertions in the setup of Stichtenoth, Proposition 5.2.8. Exactness of the constant field of the twist requires, in addition, stability of relative algebraic closedness under finite separable base change; that separate regular-base-change lemma is not assumed here.
The automorphism of the exact constant extension represented by
(Frob, g) under the direct-product description of its Galois group.

Every Frobenius twist has order [S : C] when the order of the original
function-field Galois group divides [S : C].
The cyclic subgroup generated by a Frobenius twist has cardinality
[S : C].
The twist subgroup meets the kernel of restriction to the enlarged constants trivially.
Equivalently, the twist subgroup meets the embedded original function-field Galois group trivially.
A twist field and the extended base generate the entire exact constant
extension. This is the fixed-field form of T = T_g S in Stichtenoth,
Proposition 5.2.8(b).
The exact constant extension has degree [S : C] over the Frobenius
twist field.
The exact constant extension is finite-dimensional over every Frobenius twist field.
The exact constant extension is Galois over every Frobenius twist field. This only uses the general theorem that a field is Galois over the fixed field of a finite group action.
Every Frobenius twist field has the same degree over L as the original
function field N.
The Galois group over a Frobenius twist field has cardinality [S : C].
