Abstract

The aim of the Project is to develop a better understanding of the mathematical structures associated with the algebraic relations between the zeros of a univariate, separable polynomial  with coefficients in an arbitrary field K. Clearly the most important case emerges if we choose  f  to be irreducible and K to be the rational numbers. If x is the vector of all zeros of  f  in the algebraic closure of K, then a polynomial vanishing at x is called a relation. All relations form the relation ideal of  f. It is in the center of our considerations. Of special interest are also the so-called linear relations. These are relations of degree one, i.e. they express K-linear dependence of the zeros of  f .  For the investigation of these special relations representation theory proved to be a very powerful tool. Other methods and theories used are Galois theory , algebraic geometry, Gr�bner bases and invariant theory .

 

History

The project started in October 2003. Besides the non-stop  engagement of the two associate Professors Kurt Girstmair and Franz Pauer, Mathias Lederer with his diploma thesis and his PhD thesis, made significant contributions in the beginning. He now holds an assistant position at the University of Bielefeld. For his present activities see here. In December 2004 Michael Wibmer got involved in the project. He has finished his diploma thesis and is working on PhD level now.
