Abstract

top
A (monic) polynomial f ( x ) [ x ] is called intersective if the congruence f ( x ) 0 mod m has a solution for all positive integers m . Call f ( x ) nontrivially intersective if it is intersective and has no rational root. It was proved by the author that every finite noncyclic solvable group G can be realized as the Galois group over of a nontrivially intersective polynomial (noncyclic is a necessary condition). Our first remark is the observation that the corresponding result for nonsolvable G reduces to the ordinary inverse Galois problem for G over . The second remark has to do with the scarcity of explicit examples of nontrivial intersective polynomials with given Galois group, and gives the first known example for the dihedral group of order ten.

AB - A (monic) polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb{Z}}[x]$ is called intersective if the congruence $f(x)\equiv 0$ mod $m$ has a solution for all positive integers $m$. Call $f(x)$nontrivially intersective if it is intersective and has no rational root. It was proved by the author that every finite noncyclic solvable group $G$ can be realized as the Galois group over ${\mathbb{Q}}$ of a nontrivially intersective polynomial (noncyclic is a necessary condition). Our first remark is the observation that the corresponding result for nonsolvable $G$ reduces to the ordinary inverse Galois problem for $G$ over ${\mathbb{Q}}$. The second remark has to do with the scarcity of explicit examples of nontrivial intersective polynomials with given Galois group, and gives the first known example for the dihedral group of order ten.
