The fundamental theorem of Galois theory states that there exists a correspondence between intermediate fields of a given field extension and the subgroups of its Galois group.

Conditions: Informal statement only; No explicit hypotheses on the extension are given; No formula for the correspondence map is shown

Galois theory allows mathematicians to classify polynomials based on the solvability of their Galois groups.

Conditions: High-level methodological summary; Technical term "solvable" is used without definition in this clip

Galois theory characterizes classical problems like angle trisection and doubling the cube as impossible using only compass and straightedge because their underlying Galois groups are non-solvable.

Conditions: Classical geometric problems; Restricted to compass and straightedge constructions; Relies on the concept of solvable groups
