Let $L$ be the splitting field of $(T^2-5)(T^3-3T+1) \in \mathbb{Q}[T]$. I have to determine all subgroups of $\text{Gal}(L/\mathbb{Q})$ and all subfields $L\geq M \geq \mathbb{Q}$.

Now I asked already a similar question here and managed to do that - but in that case the subgroups were easy to determine, since my splitting field was just isomorphic to $S_3$ which I could easily show by writing down the Cayley table.

But for this exercise, I don't even know how to write down the Cayley table. My guess is, that it is isomorphic to $S_2 \times S_3$ since I have two polynomials of degree $2$ and $3$. Can someone please describe to me how to do that ? Beginning from there, I hope I should be able to do the rest on my own.

    You must have covered how to determi$n$e the Galois group of an arbitrary cubic. Does the word "discriminant" ring a bell?2012-12-13
