Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and let ramt(G)ram^{t}(G) denote the minimal positive integer nn such that GG can be realized as the Galois group of a tamely ramified extension of Q\mathbb{Q} ramified only at nn finite primes. Let d(G)d(G) denote the minimal non negative integer for which there exists a subset XX of GG with d(G)d(G) elements such that the normal subgroup of GG generated by XX is all of GG. It is known that d(G)ramt(G)d(G)\leq ram^{t}(G). However, it is unknown whether or not every finite group GG can be realized as a Galois group of a tamely ramified extension of Q\mathbb{Q} with exactly d(G)d(G) ramified primes. We will show that 3log(G)3\cdot log(|G|) is an upper bound for ramt(G)ram^{t}(G) for all odd order solvable group GG.
