We study the Galois group $G_f$ of a random polynomial $f$ in the family of polynomials of degree $2n$ satisfying the twisted reciprocal relation $f(x) = x^{2n}/b^n \cdot f(b/x)$. We use a Euclidean height adapted to this relation. Our main result is an asymptotic theorem of van der Waerden--Bhargava type: for fixed $b \neq 0$ and $n \geq 4$, the number of polynomials of height at most $H$ whose Galois group is not the full hyperoctahedral group $S_2 \wr S_n$ is an explicit constant times $H^n\log H$, with an error of order $H^n$. We determine the dependence of the leading constant on $b$; the leading-order group $G_1$ is of index $2$. This paper is a sequel to a recent paper by Anderson, Bertelli, and the author addressing reciprocal polynomials (i.e. the case $b = 1$).
Let $q$ be a prime power and $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ be the finite fields of $q^2$ elements. The Hermitian function field $H=\mathbb{F}_{q^2}(x,y)$ defined by $y^q+y=x^{q+1}$ is a well-known maximal function field with the largest possible genus. Let $A(P_\infty)$ be the decomposition group of the infinity place $P_\infty$...
Fix a degree $n$, a nonzero integer constant term, and some further coefficients of a monic integer polynomial, leaving $s$ coefficients to vary in $[-H,H]$. We first prove that, when only the leading and constant coefficients are fixed, the number of polynomials whose Galois group is not $S_n$ is of order $H^{n-2}$ fo...
Let $F$ be a field of characteristic zero, $G$ be a finite abelian group and $M_2(F)$ be the algebra of $2\times 2$ matrices over $F$. In this paper, we consider all $G$-graded involutions on $M_2(F)$ and determine the generators of the $T_{(G,*)}$-ideal of identities and of the $T_{(G,*)}$-space of central polynomials...
Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic number field, let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $G=G_{\varnothing}(K)(p)$ be the Galois group of the maximal everywhere unramified pro-$p$ extension of $K$. To each mod-$p$ character $x$ of $G$ we associate a linear map $D_x$ from $\mathrm{Cl}(K)[p]$ to $\mathrm{Cl}(K)/p$; a formula of...
Let $X$ be a curve of genus $g\ge2$ over an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic $p$, and let $G=\mathrm{Aut}(X)$. A theorem of Giulietti and Korchmaros shows that if $G$ fixes no point and a $p$-subgroup $S\le G_P$ satisfies $|S|>\frac{p}{p-1}g$, then $X$ is one of the classical hyperelliptic, Hermitian, o...
For a field $F$ we study the coinvariants for the $SL_n(F)$-action on the double Steinberg module $St_n(F) \otimes St_n(F)$ and show they have a rich algebraic structure: for $n = 2$ it is the Grothendieck-Witt group of $F$, and for all $n$ they assemble to a graded nonunital $\mathbb{Z}[F^\times]$-algebra, whose ratio...
