Motivated by the work of Liu, we study certain canonical quotients of $G_{\emptyset}^T(K)$ -- the Galois group of the maximal unramified extension of a global field $K$ that is split completely at a finite nonempty set of places in $T$ --…
We study the problem of determining, for a polynomial function $f$ on a vector space $V$, the linear transformations $g$ of $V$ such that $f g = f$. In case $f$ is invariant under a simple algebraic group $G$ acting irreducibly on $V$, we…
Let $q$ be an odd prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. Let $\ell\in \mathbb F_{q^n}[x]$ be a $q$-linearised $t$-scattered polynomial of linearized degree $r$. Let $d=\max\{t,r\}$ be an odd prime number. In this paper we show that…
For each finite subgroup $G$ of $PGL_2(\mathbb{Q})$, and for each integer $n$ coprime to $6$, we construct explicitly infinitely many Galois extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ with group $G$ and whose ideal class group has $n$-rank at least…
The finite subgroups of ${\rm PGL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ are shown to be the only finite groups $G$ with this property: for some integer $r_0$ (depending on $G$), all Galois covers $X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1_{\mathbb{C}}$ of group $G$ can be…
The power classes of a field are well-known for their ability to parameterize elementary $p$-abelian Galois extensions. These classical objects have recently been reexamined through the lens of their Galois module structure. Module…
In Proposition I of "Memoire sur les conditions de resolubilite des equations par radicaux", Galois established that any intermediate extension of the splitting field of a polynomial with rational coefficients is the fixed field of its…
We compute a family of coverings with four ramification points, defined over $\mathbb{Q}$, with regular Galois group $PSL_5(2)$. On the one hand, this is (to my knowledge) the first explicit polynomial with group $PSL_5(2)$ over…
In this article new cases of the Inverse Galois Problem are established. The main result is that for a fixed integer n, there is a positive density set of primes p such that PSL_2(F_{p^n}) occurs as the Galois group of some finite extension…
Given an abelian algebraic group $A$ over a global field $F$, $\alpha \in A(F)$, and a prime $\ell$, the set of all preimages of $\alpha$ under some iterate of $[\ell]$ generates an extension of $F$ that contains all $\ell$-power torsion…
This paper introduces a novel approach to understanding Galois theory, one of the foundational areas of algebra, through the lens of machine learning. By analyzing polynomial equations with machine learning techniques, we aim to streamline…
We prove potential automorphy results for a single Galois representation $G_F \rightarrow GL_n(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_l)$ where $F$ is a CM number field. The strategy is to use the $p,q$ switch trick and modify the Dwork motives employed in…
In 1985, Odoni showed that in characteristic $0$ the Galois group of the $n$-th iterate of the generic polynomial with degree $d$ is as large as possible. That is, he showed that this Galois group is the $n$-th wreath power of the symmetric…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $q$ a power of $p$. We examine the deformation theory of reducible and indecomposable Galois representations $\bar{\rho}:G_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow \text{GSp}_{2n}(\mathbb{F}_q)$ that are unramified outside a…
We show that the Galois group of the polynomial in the title is isomorphic to the full symmetric group on six symbols for all but finitely many $n$. This complements earlier work of Filaseta and Moy, who studied Galois groups of…
For each odd prime power q, we construct an infinite sequence of rational functions f(X) in F_q(X), each of which is exceptional, which means that for infinitely many n the map c-->f(c) induces a bijection of P^1(F_{q^n}). Moreover, each of…
We realize Frobenius conjugacy classes in Galois groups of certain $q$-polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ using specific degree 1 ideals. We combine this with methods from elementary linear algebra and group theory to realize transvections…
We introduce the first provably efficient algorithm to check if a finitely generated subgroup of an almost simple semi-simple group over the rationals is Zariski-dense. We reduce this question to one of computing Galois groups, and to this…
Given a finite group $\Gamma$, we prove results on the distribution of the prime-to-$q|\Gamma|$ part of fundamental groups of $\Gamma$-covers of the projective line $\mathbb P^1_{\mathbb F_q}$ over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ as…
For prime power $q=p^d$ and a field $F$ containing a root of unity of order $q$ we show that the Galois cohomology ring $H^*(G_F,\dbZ/q)$ is determined by a quotient $G_F^{[3]}$ of the absolute Galois group $G_F$ related to its descending…
