We compute the genus 0 Belyi map for the sporadic Janko group J1 of degree 266 and describe the applied method. This yields explicit polynomials having J1 as a Galois group over K(t), [K:Q] = 7.
Determining Fourier coefficients of modular forms of a finite index noncongruence subgroups of the modular group is still a non-trivial task. In this brief note we describe a new algorithm to reliably calculate an approximation for a…
We calculate the hauptmodul and Belyi map of a genus zero subgroup of the modular group defined via a canonical homomorphism by the Conway group group Co3. Our main result is the Belyi map and its field of definition.
We consider a large family of dynamical Belyi maps of arbitrary degree and study the arithmetic monodromy groups attached to the iterates of such maps. Building on the results of Bouw-Ejder-Karemaker on the geometric monodromy groups of…
We present all Belyi maps P^1(C) -> P^1(C) having almost simple primitive monodromy groups (not isomorphic to A_n or S_n) containing rigid and rational generating triples of degree between 50 and 250. This also leads to new polynomials…
In this paper we show an explicit polynomial in Q[x] that has Galois group SL2(F16), filling in a gap in the tables of Juergen Klueners and Gunther Malle. The computation of this polynomial uses modular forms and their Galois…
We present a one-parameter family of degree 36 polynomials with the symplectic 2-transitive group PSp(6,2) as Galois group over Q(t).
We study the Galois symbol map associated to the multiplicative group and an abelian variety which has good ordinary reduction over a $p$-adic field. As a byproduct, one can calculate the "class group" in the view of the class field theory…
In this paper we study genus 2 function fields K with degree 3 elliptic subfields. We show that the number of Aut(K)-classes of such subfields of K is 0,1,2, or 4. Also we compute an equation for the locus of such K in the moduli space of…
We compute explicit polynomials having the sporadic Higman-Sims group HS and its automorphism group Aut(HS) as Galois groups over the rational function field Q(t).
We prove that there exists a generic polynomial for the group Sl2(3); it is the group with smallest order for which it was not known if a such polynom can exist. Nous prouvons ici l'existence d'un polynome generique pour le groupe SL2(F3).…
Let $K$ be a global field of characteristic different from 2 and $u(x)\in K[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial of even degree $2g\ge 6$, whose Galois group over $K$ is either the full symmetric group $S_{2g}$ or the alternating group…
We exhibit a rigid local system of rank six on the affine line in characteristic $p=5$ whose arithmetic and geometric monodromy groups are the finite group $2.J_2$ ($J_2$ the Hall-Janko sporadic group) in one of its two (Galois-conjugate)…
We present a family of algorithms for computing the Galois group of a polynomial defined over a $p$-adic field. Apart from the "naive" algorithm, these are the first general algorithms for this task. As an application, we compute the Galois…
In his previous paper (Math. Res. Letters 7(2000), 123--132) the author proved that in characteristic zero the jacobian $J(C)$ of a hyperelliptic curve $C: y^2=f(x)$ has only trivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of the ground…
We prove a non-abelian arboreal Galois group result for certain maps with non-real Julia set at an archimedean place. We investigate the question of determining which polynomials defined over $\mathbb{R}$ have real Julia set. Finally we…
Let $A$ be an absolutely simple abelian variety without (potential) complex multiplication, defined over the number field $K$. Suppose that either $\dim A=2$ or $A$ is of $\operatorname{GL}_2$-type: we give an explicit bound $\ell_0(A,K)$…

Let $k$ be a subfield of $\mathbb{C}$ which contains all $2$-power roots of unity, and let $K = k(\alpha_{1}, \alpha_{2}, ... , \alpha_{2g + 1})$, where the $\alpha_{i}$'s are independent and transcendental over $k$, and $g$ is a positive…
Let~$E$ be a Hilbertian field of characteristic~$0$. R.W.K. Odoni conjectured that for every positive integer~$n$ there exists a polynomial~$f\in E[X]$ of degree~$n$ such that each iterate~$f^{\circ{k}}$ of~$f$ is irreducible and the Galois…
