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, ...

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{...

(Part of this question was written with ChatGPT because english is not my native language). I am currently translating my diploma thesis from 2010 in english and thought to think about the topic again:...

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 $n \geq 5$....

I am looking for explicit examples (for all positive integers $n \ge 5$) of degree $2n$ even polynomials $f(x)=h(x^2)$ over the field $\mathbb{Q}$ of rational numbers such that the Galois groups of $...

How can I compute the Galois group of the polynomial $fg\in K[x]$ assuming that I know the Galois groups of $f\in K[x]$ and $g\in K[x]$? Let's suppose for simplicity that the field $K$ is perfect.
