A classification theorem for normal extensions

Category Theory 2016-04-12 v1

Abstract

For a particular class of Galois structures, we prove that the normal extensions are precisely those extensions that are "locally" split epic and trivial, and we use this to prove a "Galois theorem" for normal extensions. Furthermore, we interpret the normalisation functor as a Kan extension of the trivialisation functor.
