Lemma 9.27.3. Let $E/F$ be a normal algebraic field extension. There exist subextensions $E / E_{sep} /F$ and $E / E_{insep} / F$ such that

  1. $F \subset E_{sep}$ is Galois and $E_{sep} \subset E$ is purely inseparable,

  2. $F \subset E_{insep}$ is purely inseparable and $E_{insep} \subset E$ is Galois,

  3. $E = E_{sep} \otimes _ F E_{insep}$.

Proof. We found the subfield $E_{sep}$ in Lemma 9.14.6. We set $E_{insep} = E^{\text{Aut}(E/F)}$. Details omitted. $\square$

Line 2511, a typo: "There exist subextensions " should be "There exist subextensions ".

In the "Waring part", Line 2482 -- Line 2491, the field of rational numbers should all be denoted .
