Schur studied these Laguerre polynomials for its interesting algebraic properties. In (x) is S n with α {± 1, ± 1 3, ± 3, ± 1 4, ± 3 4 } except when (α, n) {( 1 4, ), ( 3, 11), ( 3, 7)}. The proof is based on ideas of p adic Newton polygons. this short article, it is shown that the Galois groups of Laguerre polynomials L (α) n 1. Introduction For a positive integer n and a real number α, the generalized Laguerre polynomials are defined by L (α) (n + α)(n 1 + α) (j α)( x) j n (x) =. j!(n j)! These orthogonal polynomials has a wide range of applications in several areas of mathematics. Not long after its appearance in the literature early in the twentieth century, it became evident, in the hands of Schur, that the generalized Laguerre polynomials also enjoys algebraic properties of great interest. In fact the irreducibility of these polynomials is connected to finding explicit examples as solutions to Hilbert s Inverse Galois Problem. We refer to [FKT1] for more details. It was shown that L (α) (x) is irreducible for α {± 1 } in [Sch9] and [Sch31] and for α {± 1, ±, ± 1, ± 3} in [LaSh, Theorem 1] except when α = 1, n =. By using these results of irreducibility, it was shown in [SaSh1, Theorem 1.4] that the Galois group of L (α) (x) is S n for n n 0 where n 0 = 18, 876, 13 if q {± 1}, q {± 1, ± } 3 3 and q {± 1, ± 3 }, respectively. In this short note, we give a complete result for all 4 4 n. Here S n is the Symmetric Group on n symbols and A n is the Alternating Group on n symbols.

2 SHANTA LAISHRAM Theorem 1. Let α {± 1, ± 1, ±, ± 1, ± 3 }. The Galois group of Laguerre polynomials L (α) n (x) is S n for every n 1 except when (α, n) {( 1, ), (, 11), (, 7)} where it is A n for (α, n) {(, 11), (, 7)} and S for (α, n) = ( 1, ). 4 We give a proof of Theorem 1 in Section 3. The proof of Theorem 1 is an application of a result of Hajir [Haj0] based on p adic Newton polgons, see Lemmas.1 and.. The new ingredient in this paper is the clever use of Lemma.1 as Lemma. instead of [SaSh1, Lemma 3.3]. In fact the proof of [SaSh1, Theorem 1.4] can be much shortened by using Lemma... Preliminaries Hajir [Haj0] gave a criterion for an irreducible polynomial to have large Galois group using Newton polygons. We restate the result which is [Haj0, Lemma 3.1]. Lemma.1. Let f(x) = m ( m ) cj x j Q[X] be an irreducible polynomial of degree j m. Let p be a prime with m < p < m such that (i) ord p (c 0 ) = 1, (ii) ord p (c j ) 1 for 0 j m p, (iii) ord p (c p ) = 0. Then p divides the order of Galois group of f over Q. In fact, this Galois group is A m if disc(f) Q and S m otherwise. We will be applying the above lemma to following polynomial. Let α = u v u, v Z, gcd(u, v) = 1 and v > 0. Let (1) G(x, u, v) : = v n n!l ( u v ) ( x v ) ( ) n = (u + vn)(u + v(n 1)) (u + v(j + 1))x j. j In [Sch31], Schur showed that its discriminant is given by n D n (u,v) := Disc(G(x, u, v)) = j j ( u v + j)j 1. j= with We write D (u,v) m () = by, Y Q with b = { 3 n (u+v)(u+4v) (u+(n 1)v v δ if n 1, 3(mod 4) 3 (n 1) (u+v)(u+4v) (u+nv v δ if n 0, (mod 4) where δ = 0 if n 0, 1(mod 4) and 1 if n, 3(mod 4). We now apply Lemma.1 to G(x, u, v). We prove
3 ON THE GALOIS GROUPS OF GENERALIZED LAGUERRE POLYNOMIALS 3 Lemma.. Let 1 r < v, gcd(r, v) = 1 and p be a prime with (3) p > v, p r 1 u(mod v) and u + v + nv p n 3. r + v Let G(x, u, v) be given by (1) be an irreducible polynomial of degree n. Assume that u < v. Then the Galois group of G(x, u, v) is A n or S n according as b (given by ()) is a square or not an square of an integer. Proof. We apply Lemma.1 with c j = (u + vn)(u + v(n 1)) (u + v(j + 1)). Since 1 r < v, we have u+v+nv > n and hence n r+v check conditions (i) (iii) of Lemma.1. < p < n is valid. It suffices to Since p r 1 u(mod v), we get p (u + iv) for some i. Let i 0 be the least positive integer i with this property. Then 1 i 0 < p. Further let u + i 0 v = pr 0. Then r 0 r(mod v). We claim that r 0 < v. Suppose not. Then u + i 0 v = pr 0 pv (i 0 + 1)v since i 0 < p contradicting u < v. Thus r 0 < v. This with r 0 r(mod v) and 1 r < v implies r = r 0. Since u+v+nv p, we have r+v u + v + (n p)v rp = r 0 p = u + i 0 v giving i 0 > n p. Thus n p < i 0 < p. This gives i 0 p < 0 and i 0 +p > n and hence u+i 0 v is the only multiple of p in {u, u+v,, u+nv}. Further u+i 0 v = pr < pv < p implying p (u + i 0 v). Hence conditions (i) (iii) of Lemma.1 are valid and the assertion follows. The above Lemma contains [SaSh1, Lemma 3.3]. We also need the following result on b being a square or not. Lemma.3. Let n 13, α = u v {±1, ±1 3, ± 3, ±1 4, ±3 4 } and b be given by (). Then b is square only when (u, v, n) {(, 3, 3), (, 3, 11), (, 3, 7)}. Proof. First we check that for n u + v, the assertion is valid. Hence we now take n > u + v. Let { n if n is even n 1 = n if n is odd. Assume u ± if v = 3. Then we see that b is divisible by every prime p u(mod v) with n < p u + vn 1 to the first power. Hence if there is such a prime, b cannot be a square. For u + v < n 13, we check that this is true. Thus we now take v = 3, u = ±. Let u 1 = u. Then (u + v) (u + n 1 v) = n 1 (u 1 + v)(u 1 + v) (u 1 + n 1 v) and hence b is not an square if there is a prime p with n < p u 1 +n 1 v and p u 1 (mod v) where v = 3. We check that this is the case for u + v < m 13 except when
4 4 SHANTA LAISHRAM u =, m {, 6, 7, 11} and u =, m = 19. For u =, m {, 6, 7, 11} and u =, m = 19, we check that b is not a square except when u =, m = 11. Hence the assertion follows. Let 3. Proof of Theorem 1 α = u v {±1, ±1 3, ± 3, ±1 4, ±3 4 }. As mentioned before, it was shown that L (α) (x) is irreducible for α {± 1 } in [Sch9] and [Sch31] and in [LaSh] for α {± 1, ±, ± 1, ± 3} except when α = 1, n = and hence same is true for G(x, u, v). For n 13, we check in SAGE for n 11 and MAGMA for n = 1, 13 that the assertion of Theorem 1 is valid. Hence we may suppose that n > 13. Further we can take n 13 by [SaSh1, Theorem 1.4]. It suffices to prove that G(x, u, v) has Galois group S n. We use Lemmas. and. It suffice to find a prime p with p > v, p r 1 u(mod v) and u + v + nv p n 3. r + v for some r, 1 r < v, gcd(r, v) = 1. Let α = u {± 1 }. We check that there is v a prime p with n++u p n 3 except when u = 1, n = 19. We check that for 3 n = 19, the Galois group of L ( 1 ) (x) is S n. Let α = u {± 1, ± }. Since 1 r < 3, we need to find a prime p with v u p n 3, p u(mod 3) 4 or u p n 3, p u(mod 3). Hence it suffices to find a prime p with + 3+u p n 3 or u p < u, p u(mod 4). 4 We check that this is the case except when u = 1 :n = 1 u = :n = 19 u = 1 :n {18, 19} u = :n {14, 1, 31}. For these values of u 3 and n, we check in MAGMA that Galois group of L( u 3 ) (x) is S n. Let α = u {± 1, ± 3 }. Since r {1, 3}, we need to find a prime p with v u p n 3, p u(mod 4)
5 ON THE GALOIS GROUPS OF GENERALIZED LAGUERRE POLYNOMIALS or u p n 3, p 3u(mod 4). 7 Hence it suffices to find a prime p with + 4+u p n 3 or u p < u, p 3u(mod 4). We check that this is the case except when u = 1 :n {14, 1, 30, 31} u = 3 :n {0, 1, 3} u = 1 :n {19, 0, 1} u = 3 :n {14, 9, 30, 31}. For these values of u and n, we check check in MAGMA that Galois group of 4 L( u 4 ) (x) is S n. This completes the proof of Theorem 1.
