Sextic extensions of Q with Galois closure generated by two linearly disjoint cubic fields

From MaRDI portal

The permutation groups attached to sixth-degree fields \(E\) containing a quadratic subfield \(K_ 2\) and no cubic subfield fall into four classes depending only on the Galois type of the extension \(K_ 4/\mathbb{Q}\), where \(K_ 4\) is the quadratic extension of \(K_ 2\) corresponding to the cubic extension \(E/K_ 2\). We consider the cases where the Galois closure of \(E\) is generated by the Galois closure of two linearly disjoint cubic fields \(E_ 1\) and \(E_ 2\). We show how to compute the exponent of a prime number \(p\) in the discriminant of \(E\) from the exponent of \(p\) in the discriminant of each of these cubic fields except in the particular case where the exponent of \(p=3\) in the discriminant of \(E_ 1\) and \(E_ 2\) is 5. To solve this case, one should use the structure on \(\mathbb{Q}_ 3\) of \(E_ 1\) and \(E_ 2\)'s completion. These results are illustrated by numerical examples.
