Abstract

We investigate some Galois groups of linearized polynomials over fields such as Fq(t)\mathbb{F}_q(t). The space of roots of such a polynomial is a module for its Galois group. We present a realization of the symmetric powers of this module, as a subspace of the splitting field of another linearized polynomial.
