I am trying to find the Galois Group G(Q(2,3)/Q). That means, I have to find the automorphisms ϕ:Q(2,3)→Q(2,3), for which ϕ(x)=x,∀x∈Q.
Let's say K=Q(2,3).
I am fairly certain that all elements of K can be written as a+b2+c3+d6, a,b,c,d∈Q.
I know that if K=Q(c), there are 2 automorphisms: a+bc→a−bc and identity. (let's say here that c is positive, and isn't the square of an integer or rational, so that c is irrational but not complex.
I also know that if K=R has just 1 automorphism satisfying this, the identity.
I have read the wikipedia page on Galois groups, there is a bit of info about it, but it doesn't satisfy my question. Would this field have 2^3 automorphisms? a±b2±c3±d6?
