Abstract: Let L(x) be any q-linearized polynomial with coefficients in mathbbFq, of degree qn. We consider the Galois group of L(x)+tx over mathbbFq(t), where t is transcendental over mathbbFq. We prove that when n is a prime, the Galois group is always GL(n,q), except when L(x)=xqn. Equivalently, we prove that the arithmetic monodromy group of L(x)/x is GL(n,q).
