Galois points for a plane curve and its dual curve, II
Abstract
Let be a plane curve of degree at least three. A point in projective plane is said to be Galois if the function field extension induced by the projection from is Galois. Further we say that a Galois point is extendable if any birational transformation induced by the Galois group can be extended to a linear transformation of the projective plane. This article is the second part of [2], where we showed that the Galois group at an extendable Galois point has a natural action on the dual curve which preserves the fibers of the projection from a certain point . In this article we improve such a result, and we investigate the Galois group of . In particular, we study both when is a Galois point, and when is prime and . As an application, we determine the number of points at which the Galois groups are certain fixed groups for the dual curve of a cubic curve.
