A family of polynomials with Galois group PSL5(2)PSL_5(2) over Q(t)\mathbb{Q}(t)

Published 7 Aug 2013 in math.NT | (1308.1566v1)

Abstract: We compute a family of coverings with four ramification points, defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, with regular Galois group PSL5(2)PSL_5(2). On the one hand, this is (to my knowledge) the first explicit polynomial with group PSL5(2)PSL_5(2) over Q(t)\mathbb{Q}(t). On the other hand, it also positively answers the question whether PSL5(2)PSL_5(2) is the monodromy group of a rational function over Q\mathbb{Q}. At least this does not follow from considering class triples in PSL5(2)PSL_5(2), 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 Q\mathbb{Q}). 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.
