The Inverse Galois Problem
Reviewing hundreds of pages for publication. AI will likely release first. But at least we will understand it. In the interim, here are some representations from a highly technical and not very fun area of math. Sidenote, the problem was conceived of by a 20-year-old, the night before his death by duel. Drama.
The modern version of the problem is framed by Hilbert and Noether. Emmy Noether, too, was overlooked in her time. Liouville published Galois fourteen years after his death. Since, Galois’s work has been ripe for misunderstanding. But Noether got it, and her symmetry saved Einstein’s relativity.
