The Separable Galois Theory of Commutative Rings, Second Edition
provides a complete and self-contained account of the Galois theory
of commutative rings from the viewpoint of categorical
classification theorems and using solely the techniques of
commutative algebra. Along with updating nearly every result and
explanation, this edition contains a new chapter on the theory of
separable algebras. The book develops the notion of commutative
separable algebra over a given commutative ring and explains how to
construct an equivalent category of profinite spaces on which a
profinite groupoid acts. It explores how the connection between the
categories depends on the construction of a suitable separable
closure of the given ring, which in turn depends on certain notions
in profinite topology. The book also discusses how to handle rings
with infinitely many idempotents using profinite topological spaces
and other methods.
Knowledge of an analytic group implies knowledge of its module
category. However complete knowledge of the category does not
determine the group. Professor Magid shows here that the category
determines another, larger group and an algebra of functions in
this new group. The new group and its function algebra are
completely described; this description thus tells everything that
is known when the module category, as a category, is given. This
categorical view brings together and highlights the significance of
earlier work in this area by several authors, as well as yielding
new results. By including many examples and computations Professor
Magid has written a complete account of the subject that is
accessible to a wide audience. Graduate students and professionals
who have some knowledge of algebraic groups, Lie groups and Lie
algebras will find this a useful and interesting text.
