Weil's Galois Descent Theorem from a computational point of view

Algebraic Geometry 2021-05-04 v6

Abstract

Let L/K{\mathcal L}/{\mathcal K} be a finite Galois extension and let XX be an affine algebraic variety defined over L{\mathcal L}. Weil's Galois descent theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for XX to be definable over K{\mathcal K}, that is, for the existence of an algebraic variety YY defined over K{\mathcal K} together with a birational isomorphism R:XYR:X \to Y defined over L{\mathcal L}. Weil's proof does not provide a method to construct the birational isomorphism R.R. The aim of this paper is to give an explicit construction of RR.
