Abstract
We study Morton's characterization of cubic Galois extensions F/K by a generic polynomial depending on a single parameter s∈K. We show how such an s can be calculated with the coefficients of an arbitrary cubic polynomial over K the roots of which generate F. For K=Q we classify the parameters s and cubic Galois polynomials over Z, respectively, according to the discriminant of the extension field, and we present a simple criterion to decide if two fields given by two s-parameters or defining polynomials are equal or not.
