Find a chain of fields $F subseteq E subseteq K$, where $E cong F[X]/(X^2 + X + 1)$ and $K cong E[X]/(X^3 -...

$begingroup$


Let $F subseteq E subseteq K$ a chain of fields, such that the characteristic of $F$ is neither $2$ nor $3$, and we suppose that we have found $z in K$, with $K = E(z)$, and $a in E$ such that $min(z , E)(X) = X^3 - a$.



We suppose also that $E = F(x)$, with $[E : F] = 2$, such that $x$ is a root of the polynomial $X^2 + X + 1$ (so $x$ is a primitive cube root of unity). $K / E$ and $E / F$ have to be Galois extensions. Can we take $a$ such that $a in F$? I only look for an example.



I thought in $F = mathbb{Q}$, $E = F(e^{2 pi i/3})$ and $K = E(sqrt[3]{2})$ and $a = 2$, I am not sure if $K / E$ is normal though.

    If $z$ is a root of $X^3-a$, then so are $xz$ and $x^2z$, so $K/E$ is necessarily normal.

In general you cannot take $ain F$; your example is close to a counterexample:



Take $F = mathbb{Q}$ and $E = Fleft(e^{frac{2 pi i}{3}}right)$, and
$$K=Eleft(e^{frac{2 pi i}{9}}right).$$
Then we may take $z=e^{frac{2 pi i}{9}}$, but $min(z,E)=X^3-e^{frac{2 pi i}{3}}$.



In fact, for any choice of non-cube $ainmathbb{Q}$, adjoining a root $z$ of $X^3-a$ to $E=mathbb{Q}(e^{frac{2 pi i}{3}})$ yields a splitting field of $X^3-a$, which has Galois group $S_3$, whereas $K=mathbb{Q}(e^{frac{2 pi i}{9}})$ has Galois group $mathbb{Z}/6mathbb{Z}$.
