In mathematics, field arithmetic is a subject that studies the interrelations between arithmetic properties of a field and its absolute Galois group. It is an interdisciplinary subject as it uses tools from algebraic number theory, arithmetic geometry, algebraic geometry, model theory, the theory of finite groups and of profinite groups.

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or arithmetic:
“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
—Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
“O! O! another stroke! that makes the third.
He stabs me to the heart against my wish.
