On the degree of repeated radical extensions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 November 2020
Abstract
We answer a question posed by Mordell in 1953, in the case of repeated radical extensions, and find necessary and sufficient conditions for $[F[\sqrt [m_1]{N_1},\dots ,\sqrt [m_\ell ]{N_\ell }]:F]=m_1\cdots m_\ell $ , where F is an arbitrary field of characteristic not dividing any $m_i$ .
