An arithmetic proof of Pop`s Theorem concerning Galois groups of function fields over number fields.
Using the principle that characteristic polynomials of matrices obtained from elements of a reductive group over typically have splitting field with Galois group isomorphic to the Weyl group of , we construct an explicit monic integral polynomial of degree whose splitting field has Galois group the Weyl group of the exceptional group of type .
We study the asymptotics conjecture of Malle for dihedral groups of order , where is an odd prime. We prove the expected lower bound for those groups. For the upper bounds we show that there is a connection to class groups of quadratic number fields. The asymptotic behavior of those class groups is predicted by the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics. Under the assumption of this heuristic we are able to prove the expected upper bounds.
We establish automatic realizations of Galois groups among groups , where is a cyclic group of order for a prime and is a quotient of the group ring .
The branching data of an algebraic function is a list of orders of local monodromies around branching points. We present branching data that ensure that the algebraic functions having them are representable by radicals. This paper is a review of recent work by the authors and of closely related classical work by Ritt.
Soient un corps de nombres et son groupe des classes. Une extension de à groupe de Galois isomorphe au groupe alterné est dite alternée. Soit une extension cyclique de degré . On calcule la classe de Steinitz, dans , de toute extension alternée contenant . Sous l’hypothèse que le nombre des classes de est impair, on détermine l’ensemble de telles classes et on montre que c’est un sous-groupe de lorsque l’anneau des entiers de est libre sur celui de ou ne divise pas l’ordre...
