Non-parametricity of rational translates of regular Galois extensions

Abstract: We generalize a result of F. Legrand about the existence of non-parametric Galois extensions for a given group

G

. More precisely, for a

K

-regular Galois extension

F | K (t)

, we consider the translates

F (s) | K (s)

by an extension

K (s) | K (t)

of rational function fields (in other words,

s

is a root of

g (X) - t

for some rational function

g i n K (X)

). We then show that if

F | K (t)

is a

K

-regular Galois extension with group

G

over a number field

K

, then for any degree

k g e 2

and almost all (in a density sense) rational functions

g

of degree

k

, the translate of

F

by a root field of

g (X) - t

over

K (t)

is non-

G

-parametric, i.e. not all Galois extensions of

K

with group

G

arise as specializations of

F (s) | K (s)

.
