On Galois extensions with prescribed decomposition groups (Q2212669)

They study the inverse Galois problem with local conditions. In particular, they ask whether every finite group occurs as the Galois group of a Galois extension of \(\mathbb{Q}\) all of whose decomposition groups are cyclic (resp., abelian). This property is known for all solvable groups due to Shafarevichs's solution of the inverse Galois problem for those groups. It is however completely open for nonsolvable groups. In this paper, they provide general criteria to attack such questions via specialization of function field extensions, and in particular give the first infinity families of Galois realizations with only cyclic decomposition groups and with nonsolvable Galois group. They also investigate the analogous problem over global function fields.
