On Galois groups of prime degree polynomials with complex roots

Let f be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree p≥5 over Q, with precisely k pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens Hochsmann (1999), show that if p≥4k+1 then Gal(f/Q) is isomorphic to Ap or Sp. This improves the algorithm for computing the Galois group of an irreducible polynomial of p...

Description
Summary:Let f be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree p≥5 over Q, with precisely k pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens Hochsmann (1999), show that if p≥4k+1 then Gal(f/Q) is isomorphic to Ap or Sp. This improves the algorithm for computing the Galois group of an irreducible polynomial of prime degree, introduced by A. Bialostocki and T. Shaska. If such a polynomial f is solvable by radicals then its Galois group is a Frobenius group of degree p. Conversely, any Frobenius group of degree p and of even order, can be realized as the Galois group of an irreducible polynomial of degree p over Q having complex roots.
