In the next chapter we will study extra structure in the case when K is Galois over Q;<br />

the results are nicely algebraic, beautiful, <strong>and</strong> have interesting ramifications. We’ll<br />

learn about Frobenius elements, the Artin symbol, decomposition groups, <strong>and</strong> how<br />

the Galois group of K is related <strong>to</strong> Galois groups of residue class fields. These are<br />

the basic structures needed <strong>to</strong> make any sense of representations of Galois groups,<br />

which is at the heart of much of number theory.
