Abstract

top
Fix an integer ℓ ≥ 3 . Rikuna introduced a polynomial r ( x , t ) defined over a function field K ( t ) whose Galois group is cyclic of order ℓ , where K satisfies some mild hypotheses. In this paper we define the family of generalized Rikuna polynomials { r n ( x , t ) } n ≥ 1 of degree ℓ n . The r n ( x , t ) are constructed iteratively from the r ( x , t ) . We compute the Galois groups of the r n ( x , t ) for odd ℓ over an arbitrary base field and give applications to arithmetic dynamical systems.
