Let $ksubseteq K$ be a finite Galois extension of fields with Galois group $G$. Let $mathscr{G}$ be the automorphism $k$-group scheme of $K$. We construct a canonical $k$-subgroup scheme $underline{G}subsetmathscr{G}$ with the property that $Spec_k(K)$ is a $k$-torsor for $underline{G}$. $underline{G}$ is a constant $k$-group if and only if $G$ is abelian, in which case $G=underline{G}$.
