| Nov 1, 2016 at 23:31 | comment | added | Paul Siegel | There is a precise notion of rigidity in group theory which Thompson used to prove that many specific groups, including the monster group, are Galois groups of Galois extensions over $\mathbb{Q}$. See the section on rigidity in the Wikipedia page on the inverse Galois problem for details and references: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_Galois_problem | |
