GaloisGroup( p, x )
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
The GaloisGroup command returns the Galois group of a polynomial p over the field ℚ of rational numbers, or over the rational function field, ℚt1,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.
