Brauer Type Embedding Problems

Download or read book Brauer Type Embedding Problems written by Arne Ledet and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is concerned with Galois theoretical embedding problems of so-called Brauer type with a focus on 2-groups and on finding explicit criteria for solvability and explicit constructions of the solutions. Before considering questions of reducing the embedding problems and reformulating the solvability criteria, the author provides the necessary theory of Brauer groups, group cohomology and quadratic forms. The book will be suitable for students seeking an introduction to embedding problems and inverse Galois theory. It will also be a useful reference for researchers in the field.
