Abstract

Let G be a subgroup of the symmetric group Sn, and let δG=∣Sn/G∣−1 where ∣Sn/G∣ is the index of G in Sn. Then there are at most On,ϵ(Hn−1+δG+ϵ) monic integer polynomials of degree n that have Galois group G and height not exceeding H, so there are only a “few” polynomials having a “small” Galois group.
