Abstract: Let F be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero and Gamma<GL_n(F) a finitely generated subgroup. For an element g in Gamma, let Gal(F(g)/ F) be the Galois group of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of g over F. We show that the structure of Gal(F(g)/ F) has a typical behaviour depending on F, and on the geometry of the Zariski closure of Gamma (but not on Gamma).

Review text

From authors' abstract: ``Let \(F\) be a finitely generated field of characteristic zero and \(\Gamma \leq \mathrm{GL} _n (F)\) a finitely generated subgroup. For \(\gamma \in \Gamma \), let \(\mathrm{Gal} (F(\gamma)/F\)) be the Galois group of the splitting field of the characteristic polynomial of \(\gamma\) over \(F\). We show that the structure of \(\mathrm{Gal} (F(\gamma)/F\)) has a typical behavior depending on \(F\) and the geometry of the Zariski closure of \(\Gamma \) (but not on \(\Gamma \)). NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE The symbol \({\mathbb F}\) is used in the paper for a general field.
