On a abelian representation of galois group

166 Views Asked by At

My question is quite elementary.

I am wondering all irreducible abelian Galois representation of $Gal(\bar{Q}/Q)$ should be character.(i.e 1-dimensional).

I think it should be ture. But since no guarantee on the compactness of abelian Galois group, I am hesitating to apply Schur Theorem.

How to show this?
