STAGE Seminar

Thu Apr 18, 2024 4:00–5:30 PM

Location

Building 2, 131

Description

Speaker: Vijay Srinivasan (MIT)Title: Construction of Galois extensionsAbstract:The inverse Galois problem asks whether every finite group can be realized as the Galois group of a finite extension of Q. In this talk, we will discuss the cases of S_n and PGL_2(F_p). These methods can also be adapted to apply to the simple groups A_n and PSL_2(F_p) (for many p).Reference: Chapter 10 of Serre, Lectures on the Mordell-Weil theorem.
