Thank you, quasi.
Let's suppose the base field is Q, and P(x) is an irreducible polynomial of degree n over Q. Let alpha_1, ... alpha_n be the n conjugate roots in the splitting field L (subfield of C, the complex numbers) of P(x) over Q.
If sigma: {alpha_1, ... alpha_n} -> {alpha_1, .. alpha_n} is a permutation of the n conjugate roots,
then according to me if a field automorphism of phi of L exists which acts on {alpha_1, ... alpha_n} the same way the permutation sigma does, all the elementary symmetric polynomials in n indeterminates must be invariant under the application of such elementary symmetric polynomials:
[wikipedia, with def. of elementary symmetric polynomials]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elementary_symmetric_polynomial
In the other direction, if we have a sigma, permutation as above, and all the elementary symmetric polynomials are left invariant, does it follow that for the splitting field L, there is a field automorphism phi of L such that phi(alpha_j) = sigma(alpha_j), 1<=j<=n ? In other words, phi acts on the alpha_j the same way sigma does.
If the elementary symmetric polynomials are left invariant by sigma, does it follow that some automorphism phi of L acts on {alpha_1, ... alpha_n} the same way sigma acts ?
