algebraic closure of $mathbb{F}_5$ contains $1$ field of $5^2$ elements












2












$begingroup$


Prove that the algebraic closure of $mathbb{F}_5$ contains only 1 field of $5^2$ elements.



If we denote by $K$ the algebraic closure of $mathbb{F}_5$, and we take $alpha in K$ such that $alpha^2=2$, we know that $[mathbb{F}_5(alpha):mathbb{F}_5]=2$.



Now if we take another element $beta in K$, we must prove $ mathbb{F}_5(beta) = mathbb{F}_5(alpha)$.



I don't know much information about K, maybe if Icompute its cardinal, I can use Sylow theorems to show the unicity of extension of degree 2 over $mathbb{F}_5$?



Thank you.

Hint:




  1. Note that $(2alpha)^2=3$, and so every element of $Bbb{F}$ has a square root in $Bbb{F}(alpha)$.


  2. Use the quadratic formula.

    You can use that for every prime number $p$ and every natural number $n$, a field $mathbb{F}_{p^n}$ of characteristic $p$ and cardinality $p^n$ is a splitting field of the polynomial $f(X)inmathbb{F}_p[X]$ given by $f(X)=X^{p^n}-X$. This follows from the Lagrange's Theorem applied to the group of units $mathbb{F}_{p^n}^{times}$. So if you fix an algebraic closure $overline{mathbb{F}_p}$ the uniqueness of such a subfield follows.
