Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0684.00005.] This survey article gives an overview about the most promising approach to the inverse problem of Galois theory, namely via algebraic function fields and Hilbert's irreducibility theorem. In sections 1 and 2 the basic ideas and results are explained, while section 3 contains a refinement of this approach. The proofs of the results in these 3 sections can be found in the author's lecture notes [Konstruktive Galoistheorie (1987; Zbl 0634.12011)] which appeared in the meantime. Sections 4 and 5 contain the introduction of the braid group and explain its relevance for the inverse problem of Galois theory. The complete exposition of these topics has meanwhile been published in [J. Reine Angew. Math. 420, 99-159 (1991; reviewed above)].
