Abstract

Let kKk\subseteq K be a finite Galois extension of fields with Galois group GG. Let G\mathscr{G} be the automorphism kk-group scheme of KK. We construct a canonical kk-subgroup scheme GG\underline{G}\subset\mathscr{G} with the property that Speck(K)Spec_k(K) is a kk-torsor for G\underline{G}. G\underline{G} is a constant kk-group if and only if GG is abelian, in which case G=GG=\underline{G}.
