Abstract

Assume that XX and YY are arithmetic schemes, i.e., integral schemes of finite types over Spec(Z)Spec(\mathbb{Z}). Then XX is said to be quasi-galois closed over YY if XX has a unique conjugate over YY in some certain algebraically closed field, where the conjugate of XX over YY is defined in an evident manner. Now suppose that ϕ:XY\phi:X\to Y is a surjective morphism of finite type such that XX is quasi-galois closed over YY. In this paper the main theorem says that the function field k(X) k(X) is canonically a Galois extension of k(Y)k(Y) and the automorphism group Aut(X/Y){Aut}(X/Y) is isomorphic to the Galois group Gal(k(X)/k(Y))Gal(k(X)/k(Y)); in particular, ϕ\phi must be affine. Moreover, let dimX=dimY\dim X=\dim Y. Then XX is a pseudo-galois cover of YY in the sense of Suslin-Voevodsky.
