Extensions of Galois Theory
- Inverse problem of Galois theory
- Given a group G, find an extension of the rational number or other field with G as Galois group.
- Differential Galois theory
- The subject in which symmetry groups of differential equations are studied along the lines traditional in Galois theory. This is actually an old idea, and one of the motivations when Sophus Lie founded the theory of Lie groups. It has not, probably, reached definitive form.
- Grothendieck's Galois theory
- A very abstract approach from algebraic geometry, introduced to study the analogue of the fundamental group.

Famous quotes containing the words extensions of, extensions and/or theory:
“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)

“The theory seems to be that so long as a man is a failure he is one of God’s chillun, but that as soon as he has any luck he owes it to the Devil.”
