This question is a follow - up to this question about Field Automorphisms of $mathbb{Q}[sqrt{2}]$.



Since $mathbb{Q}[sqrt{2}]$ is a vector space over $mathbb{Q}$ with basis ${1, sqrt{2}}$, I naively understand why it is the case that automorphisms $phi$ of $mathbb{Q}[sqrt{2}]$ are determined wholly by the image of $1$ and $sqrt{2}$. My problem is using this fact explicitly. For example, suppose I consider the automorphism $phi$ such that $phi(1) = 1$ and $phi(sqrt{2}) = sqrt{2}$, and I want to compute the value of $phi(frac{3}{2})$. I can do the following:



$$ phi(frac{3}{2}) = phi(3) phi(frac{1}{2}) = [phi(1) + phi(1) + phi(1)] phi(frac{1}{2}) = 3phi(frac{1}{2}).$$



I am unsure how to proceed from here. I would assume that it is true that $$phi(frac{1}{1 + 1}) = frac{phi(1)}{phi(1) + phi(1)} = frac{1}{2},$$ but I don't know what property of ring isomorphisms would allow me to do this.

            Every automorphism fixes $mathbb{Q}$. That is, if $K$ is any field of characteristic zero, then any automorphism of $K$ fixes the unique subfield of $K$ isomorphic to $mathbb{Q}$.



            For the proof, we assume WLOG that $mathbb{Q} subseteq K$. Then:




            • $phi$ fixes $0$ and $1$, by definition.


            • $phi$ fixes all positive integers, since $phi(n) = phi(1 + 1 + cdots + 1) = n phi(1) = n$.


            • $phi$ fixes all negative integers, since $phi(n) + phi(-n) = phi(n-n) = 0$, so $phi(-n) = -phi(n) = -n$.


            • $phi$ fixes all rational numbers, since $n cdot phileft(frac{m}{n}right) = phi(m) = m$, so $phileft(frac{m}{n}right) = frac{m}{n}$.




            More generally, when we consider automorphisms of a field extension $K / F$, we often restrict our attention only to automorphisms which fix the base field $F$. But when $F = mathbb{Q}$, since all automorphisms fix $mathbb{Q}$, such a restriction is unnecessary.
