Constants and restriction for the function-field Galois closure #

Equip the chosen normal closure of L / K(t) with its induced K-algebra structure, take the algebraic constant field, and restrict every K(t)-automorphism to those constants. Over a finite base field the constant field is finite Galois and its automorphism group is cyclic, generated by Frobenius. The restriction map is surjective: a constant fixed by its image is fixed by the full Galois group over K(t), hence lies in K(t); because it is algebraic over K, the exact constant-field theorem for K(t) puts it in K.

      The kernel consists exactly of automorphisms fixing every algebraic constant.

      Every automorphism of the algebraic constant field extends to an automorphism of the normal closure over K(t).

      The proof uses fixed fields rather than constructing a constant compositum. If an algebraic constant is fixed by the image of the restriction map, then it is fixed by every automorphism of the normal closure over K(t), so the Galois fixed-field theorem puts it in K(t). The rational function field has no elements algebraic over K except K itself. Thus the image has trivial fixed field and is the full constant-field Galois group.

      After enlarging the base constants to the algebraic constants of the normal closure, that field is the exact constant field: no further element of the normal closure is algebraic over it.
