Calling Sequence

GaloisGroup( p, x )

Parameters

p

-

: polynom : an irreducible polynomial in x over the rationals, or over Q(t1,t2,...,tk), for some indeterminates t1,...,tk.

x

-

: name : an indeterminate

Description

• 

The GaloisGroup command returns the Galois group of a polynomial p over the field  of rational numbers, or over the rational function field, t1,t1,,tk as a permutation group.  Since the polynomial p is required to be irreducible, the resulting permutation group is transitive.

• 

The degree of p may be at most 9 in the univariate case, and at most 8 in the multivariate case.
