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 .
