If $p, q$ are prime integers, then $mathbb{Q}(sqrt{p})$ is not isomorphic (as a field) to...

  • $mathbb{Q}(sqrt{n}) cong mathbb{Q}(sqrt{m})$ iff $n=m$ [duplicate]

    2 answers




My strategy is something like this: suppose $phi: mathbb{Q}(sqrt{p}) to mathbb{Q}(sqrt{q})$ is a isomophism such that $phi(x) = x$ for all $x in mathbb{Q}$ and let $phi(sqrt{p}) = a + b sqrt{q}$. Then $p = phi(p) = phi(sqrt{p}^2) = phi(sqrt{p})^2 = (a + b sqrt{q})^2 = a^2 + 2ab sqrt{q} + b^2 p$.
I feel like '$phi(x) = x$ for all $x in mathbb{Q}$' can be proved from the supposition that $phi: mathbb{Q}(sqrt{p}) to mathbb{Q}(sqrt{q})$ is an isomorphism, but I am not sure how to prove it. Can anyone help me?

Hint $phi(1)=1$ implies $phi(n)=n$.. Now use $phi(mx)=m phi(x)$ to deduce that $phi(x)=x$ for all $x in mathbb Q$.



Also note that $phi(sqrt{p})$ has to be a root of $X^2-p=0$, and the roots of this are...
