Algebraic homotopy classes of rational functions

Christophe Cazanave (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let  k be a field. We compute the set 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 N ofnaivehomotopy classes of pointed k -scheme endomorphisms of the projective line 𝐏 1 . Our result compares well with Morel’s computation in [11] of thegroup 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 𝐀 1 of  𝐀 1 -homotopy classes of pointed endomorphisms of  𝐏 1 : the set 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 N admits an a priori monoid structure such that the canonical map 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 N 𝐏 1 , 𝐏 1 𝐀 1 is a group completion.

An explicit integral polynomial whose splitting field has Galois group W ( E 8 )

Florent Jouve, Emmanuel Kowalski, David Zywina (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Using the principle that characteristic polynomials of matrices obtained from elements of a reductive group G over Q typically have splitting field with Galois group isomorphic to the Weyl group of G , we construct an explicit monic integral polynomial of degree 240 whose splitting field has Galois group the Weyl group of the exceptional group of type E 8 .
