A family of polynomials with Galois group over
Abstract: We compute a family of coverings with four ramification points, defined over , with regular Galois group . On the one hand, this is (to my knowledge) the first explicit polynomial with group over . On the other hand, it also positively answers the question whether is the monodromy group of a rational function over . At least this does not follow from considering class triples in , as there are no rigid, rational genus-zero triples. Also, for 4-tuples, our family is the only one with a Hurwitz curve of genus zero (however it does not seem immediately clear without explicit computations whether this curve can be defined as a rational curve over ). There are also genus zero families with five branch points, and maybe their Hurwitz spaces can be shown to have rational points; however, so far I have not seen such arguments.
