Abstract:
For prime and for a field containing a root of unity of order , we generalize Marshall's equivalence relation on orderings to arbitrary subgroups of of index . The equivalence classes then correspond to free pro- factors of the maximal pro- Galois group of . We generalize to this setting results of Jacob on the maximal pro- Galois group of a Pythagorean field.
