Abstract

We generalize a result of F.\ Legrand about the existence of non-parametric Galois extensions for a given group GG. More precisely, for a KK-regular Galois extension FK(t)F|K(t), we consider the translates F(s)K(s)F(s)|K(s) by an extension K(s)K(t)K(s)|K(t) of rational function fields (in other words, ss is a root of g(X)tg(X)-t for some rational function gK(X)g\in K(X)). We then show that if FK(t)F|K(t) is a KK-regular Galois extension with group GG over a number field KK, then for any degree k2k\ge 2 and almost all (in a density sense) rational functions gg of degree kk, the translate of FF by a root field of g(X)tg(X)-t over K(t)K(t) is non-GG-parametric, i.e.\ not all Galois extensions of KK with group GG arise as specializations of F(s)K(s)F(s)|K(s).
