Some General Results
- Every profinite group occurs as a Galois group of some Galois extension, however not every profinite group occurs as an absolute Galois group. For example, the Artin–Schreier theorem asserts that the only finite absolute Galois groups are the trivial one and the cyclic group of order 2.
- Every projective profinite group can be realized as an absolute Galois group of a Pseudo algebraically closed field. This result is due to Alexander Lubotzky and Lou van den Dries.

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or results:
“General jackdaw culture, very little more than a collection of charming miscomprehensions, untargeted enthusiasms, and a general habit of skimming.”
—William Bolitho (1890–1930)
“Intellectual despair results in neither weakness nor dreams, but in violence.... It is only a matter of knowing how to give vent to one’s rage; whether one only wants to wander like madmen around prisons, or whether one wants to overturn them.”
—Georges Bataille (1897–1962)
