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, ...

A question in inverse Galois Theory

Let $\mathbb{G}= \{g_1,\dots,g_n\}$ be a finite group and $\rho$ its regular representation. Let $x_1,\dots,x_n$ be indeterminates and let $x = (x_1,\dots,x_n)^\top$. Let the matrix $G$ be defined ...

Which elements in $\mathrm{Aut}(\widehat{F_2})$ preserve the procyclic subgroup generated by the commutator $c=[a,b]$?

Let $F_2$ denote the free group over two generators $a,b$, and we denote $c=[a,b]$ as the commutator. It is well-known that any automorphism $\psi$ of $F_2$ preserves the conjugacy class of the ...

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{...

Inverse Galois problem on simple groups

Im trying to find a way to connect a possible solution of the inverse Galois problem on simple groups to a more general solution on any finite group. I've tryied to mess with the embedding problem for ...
