Abstract: Let us consider an algebraic function field defined over a finite Galois extension

K

of a perfect field

k

. We give some conditions allowing the descent of the definition field of the algebraic function field from

K

to

k

. We apply these results to the descent of the definition field of a tower of function fields.We give explicitly the equations of the intermediate steps of an Artin-Schreier type extension reduced from

F_{q^{2}}

to

F_{q}

. By applying these results to a completed Garcia-Stichtenoth's tower we improve the upper bounds and the upper asymptotic bounds of the bilinear complexity of the multiplication in finite fields.
