They spend 20 minutes on Algebra I (Kowalski asks the questions) and 10 minutes on Algebra II (Burger asks the questions). They let you speak and do not interrupt, they also give useful hints. The proofs do not have to be written formally. If they see that you understand the concept, they sometimes stop you before the end.

Algebra I:

  • Definition of integral domain, examples, Z/pZ an integral domain if and only p is prime (with proof)
  • What is a fraction field ? Sketch the construction
  • Definition of prime and maximal ideal, examples, give a prime/maximal ideal of C[X,Y]
  • State CRT and give a proof idea, definition coprime ideals
  • Statement of 1st isomorphism theorem for rings

Algebra II:

  • Definition of the Galois group of a polynomial, definition of the splitting field
  • Definition of separablility (for a polynomial)
  • What is the cardinality of the Galois group of a separable polynomial ?
  • What can we say about the cardinality of the Galois group of an irreducible separable polynomial ? Why ?
  • Definition of "solvable by radicals", definition of radical extension, definition of pure extension
  • Galois group of X^3-2
  • Galois group of F_p^n/F_p
