In 1738, Abraham de Moivre introduced a family of polynomials of degree $p$, all of which are solvable. So far, these polynomials were investigated only for $p=5$. We describe the factorization of these polynomials and their Galois groups for arbitrary primes $p\\ge 3$. In addition, we express all zeros of such a polynomial as rational functions of three zeros, two of which are \"conjugate\" in a certain sense.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-07-28T13:12:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12F10", "12E10" ], "keywords": [ "prime degree", "moivre polynomials", "odd natural number", "rational functions", "galois groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
