Galois groups of special polynomials
This question is motivated by long experiments with GAP.
Call a monic polynomial with integer coefficients special in case it is irreducible and has only coefficients $-1$, $0$ or $1$. Let $n \geq 5$....

Subgroups that conjugate-cover the ambient group
Let $G$ be a finite group, and suppose that a set of proper subgroups $H_1,\dotsc,H_n$ satisfy $G=\bigcup_{g\in G}\bigcup_{i=1}^nH_i^g$, where $H_i^g$ is the conjugate of $H_i$ by $g$. In this case, ...

inverse Galois problem on cyclic groups
It is known that the splitting field of $x^{p^n}-x$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ is $\mathbf{Gal}(\mathbb{F}_{p^n}/\mathbb{F}_p)\cong\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ and the splitting field of $\Phi_n(x)$ over $\mathbb{...
