5차방정식과 근의 공식

We start from the field of symmetric functions.

Essentially, we are studying the radical extension of that base field.

The proof is consisted of two steps.

1. radicals to express the quintic formula can be expressed in terms of roots

2. the behavior of radicals under permutations

Consider \(3w^5-25w^3+60w-z=0\).

For \(z=\pm 38\) and \(z=\pm 16\), the above equation has four distinct roots.

These are the branch points and determines the Riemann surfaces.

Then the monodromy group is acting as a permutation of sheets and not solvable.

(This is a little different from the Galois group.)

We can apply this monodromy idea to the computation of Galois groups of number fields.

\(f(x)=2x^5-5x^4+5\) is the irreducible polynomial of degree 5 over the rationals.

It has two complex and 3 real roots.

This implies the Galois group is \(S_5\).
