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:
“Though of erect nature, man is far above the plants. For man’s superior part, his head, is turned toward the superior part of the world, and his inferior part is turned toward the inferior world; and therefore he is perfectly disposed as to the general situation of his body. Plants have the superior part turned towards the lower world, since their roots correspond to the mouth, and their inferior parts towards the upper world.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“We do not raise our children alone.... Our children are also raised by every peer, institution, and family with which they come in contact. Yet parents today expect to be blamed for whatever results occur with their children, and they expect to do their parenting alone.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
