The quintic F₂₀ resolvent specification and the resolvent sextic #

Index five formal roots by ℤ/5 and set

Φ = ∑ a, xₐ² (xₐ₊₁ xₐ₋₁ + xₐ₊₂ xₐ₋₂),

the ten monomials x₀²x₁x₄ + x₀²x₂x₃ + x₁²x₂x₀ + x₁²x₃x₄ + ⋯. The stabilizer of Φ under permutation of the variables is exactly the reference subgroup of the transitive-group label 5T3, the Frobenius group F₂₀ = AGL(1, 5) of affine maps of ℤ/5, of order twenty: the affine maps a ↦ a + 1 and a ↦ 2a + 1 that generate it permute the summands of Φ. The orbit of Φ under the whole symmetric group therefore has 120 / 20 = 6 elements, and the orbit resolvent of a quintic is a sextic.

That the stabilizer is exactly F₂₀, and not merely contained in it, identifies the six universal orbit elements with the cosets S₅ / F₂₀. After specialization their values may still collide, so using a rational root to detect containment in a conjugate of F₂₀ requires separation evidence, for example a nonzero discriminant of the specialized sextic.

TauCeti.resolventSextic f is the specialization of this specification at a quintic f over ℤ. Integrality is a theorem about ResolventSpec.specialize and not an extra hypothesis, so the sextic is a monic integral polynomial of degree six; the sextic over ℚ is its image under Polynomial.map, by TauCeti.ResolventSpec.specialize_map. Being monic and integral, any rational root is integral, reducing the rational-root search to integers; concluding containment from such a root separately requires the separation evidence above.

    Instances For

      The orbit of the F₂₀-invariant has six elements, so its resolvent is a sextic.

      The resolvent sextic of an integral quintic f: the specialization of the quintic F₂₀ specification at f, over ℤ. It is monic of degree six (TauCeti.natDegree_resolventSextic), and the resolvent sextic over any other coefficient ring is its image under Polynomial.map, by TauCeti.ResolventSpec.specialize_map.

        The defining formula of the resolvent sextic.

        The resolvent sextic is monic.

        @[simp]

        The resolvent sextic has degree six, for every f: it is the image of a monic polynomial of degree [S₅ : F₂₀] = 6, so a specialization never lowers its degree.
