Four questions about finite fields


  1. Is $\mathbb{F}_5$ a subfield of $\mathbb{F}_7$? I can think of the
    answer 'yes' because they have the same set op operations $+ \cdot$
    and the answer 'no' because in $\mathbb{F}_5: 2\cdot3=1$ and in
    $\mathbb{F}_7: 2\cdot3=6$.


  2. When I consider the finite field with four elements $\mathbb{F}_4$:
    $\{0,1,\omega,\omega^2=\omega+1\}$ as being $\mathbb{F}_2 \times
    \mathbb{F}_2$ how do I prove or know that in this field $1+1=0$ like

    in $\mathbb{F}_2$?
    EDIT: by $\mathbb{F}_2 \times \mathbb{F}_2$ I mean that the product may be defined in a complicated way, e.g. $(a,b)\cdot(c,d)=(ac+bd,ad+bc+bd)$. Unfortunately I don't know the correct notation.


  3. Can it be proved also for the field with 8 elements $\mathbb{F}_8 =
    \mathbb{F}_2 \times \mathbb{F}_2\times \mathbb{F}_2$?


  4. Is it possible to enumerate the elements of $\mathbb{F}_8$ like an
    extension of the elements of $\mathbb{F}_4$:
    $\{0,1,\omega,\omega^2=\omega+1, \gamma, \gamma^2, \ldots, \delta, \ldots\}
    $
