For any integer n 7, we show how to explicitly build an infinite number of rational trinomals of degree n whose Galois group over Q is isomorphic to A n .

โฆ Synopsis
Galois groups of irreducible trinomials X n + aX s + b โ X are investigated assuming the classification of finite simple groups. We show that under some simple yet general hypotheses bearing on the integers n s a and b only very specific groups can occur. For instance, if the two integers nb and as n -s are coprime and if s is a prime number, then already the Galois group of f X is either the alternating group A n or the symmetric group S n . This significantly extends work of Osada.

We study the parity of the number of irreducible factors of trinomials over Galois fields of characteristic 2. As a consequence, some sufficient conditions for a trinomial being reducible are obtained. For example, x n ฯฉ ax k ฯฉ b สฆ GF(2 t )[x] is reducible if both n, t are even, except possibly when
In this paper, we consider nonsplit Galois theoretical embedding problems with cyclic kernel of prime order p, in the case where the ground field has characteristic / p. It is shown that such an embedding problem can always be reduced to another embedding problem, in which the ground field contains
