Galois Group Computation for Rational Polynomials

We describe methods for the computation of Galois groups of univariate polynomials over the rationals which we have implemented up to degree 15. These methods are based on Stauduhar’s algorithm. All computations are done in unramified p -adic extensions. For imprimitive groups we give an improvement using subfields. In the primitive case we use known subgroups of the Galois group together with a combination of Stauduhar’s method and the absolute resolvent method.
