Let k be either a local or a global field, and K be a finite Galois extension of k with g = Gal (K/k). Let L be a Galois extension of K which is also Galois over k. Such an extension is called central if Gal(L/iT) lies inside the centre of Gal(L/K). Clearly L is abelian over K. Next set L* = L∩K · kab where kab is the maximal abelian extension of k in its algebraic closure. This is the genus field of L over K/k.
