At around the same time, nineteen officers of Galois' former unit were arrested and charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government. Source: Internet
As is the case for Galois groups, the real interest lies often in refining a correspondence to a duality (i.e. antitone order isomorphism). Source: Internet
A pair of adjoint functors between two partially ordered sets is called a Galois connection (or, if it is contravariant, an antitone Galois connection). Source: Internet
A couple of days later, Galois made his second and last attempt to enter the Polytechnique, and failed yet again. Source: Internet
Any Galois connection gives rise to closure operators and to inverse order-preserving bijections between the corresponding closed elements. Source: Internet
