Review text

Let \(f(x)\) be an irreducible polynomial over the rationals. Define a strong base for \(f\) over \(\mathbb Q\) as a subset of the roots of \(f\) all of whose elements are fixed only by the identity element of the Galois group of \(f\). A minimal strong base is a strong base of minimal cardinality. Such a set is also a minimal splitting base for \(f\), that is, a minimal subset of the roots of \(f\) that, when adjoined to \(\mathbb Q\), give the splitting field of \(f\). Given an explicit representation of the Galois group of \(f\), the authors describe a method for expressing all the roots of \(f\) as rational functions over \(\mathbb Q\) of the roots in a minimal strong base. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00082].
