Abstract

For a finite group G and a field k,we call a G-Galois extension over k by G/k-extension. Whether a G/k-extension exists or not is the first version of inverse Galois problem. Especially the case when k = Q the rational number field, plays an important role in the study of the absolute Galois Group of Q. By many mathematicians, the existence of G/Q-extensions has been shown for a lot of finite groups G by now (cf. Malle-Matzat [14], Serre [19], etc.)
