The inverse Galois challenge

I learnt a few days ago about the following AI challenge: find polynomials with Galois group \(G\) for each of the transitive subgroups of \(S_{24}\), with each of the possible signatures \((r_1,r_2)\) with \(r_1 + 2r_2 = 24\) where \(r_1\) … Continue reading

Inverse Galois Problem

My favourite group as far as the inverse Galois problem goes is \(G = \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbf{F}_p)\). This is not known to be a Galois group over \(\mathbf{Q}\) for any \(p > 13\), the difficulty of course being that is must correspond … Continue reading
