Polynomials with roots in ${\Bbb Q}_p$ for all $p$
Abstract
Let be a monic polynomial in with no rational roots but with roots in for all , or equivalently, with roots mod for all . It is known that cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more irreducible polynomials, and that if is a product of irreducible polynomials, then its Galois group must be a union of conjugates of proper subgroups. We prove that for any , every finite solvable group which is a union of conjugates of proper subgroups (where all these conjugates have trivial intersection) occurs as the Galois group of such a polynomial, and that the same result (with ) holds for all Frobenius groups. It is also observed that every nonsolvable Frobenius group is realizable as the Galois group of a geometric--i.e. regular-- extension of .
