Speaker: Andreas-Stephan Elsenhans Title: Computation of Galois groups Time & Place: 3:05-4pm, Thursday 22 November, Carslaw Lecture Theatre 273. Abstract: Magma computes Galois groups by using Stauduhar’s method. In this talk I will describe some key steps of the implementation (done by Claus Fieker and Jurgen Kluners) that lead to the current performance. Finally, I will sketch some starting points for further improvements.
