On classifying Laguerre polynomials which have Galois group the alternating group
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 25 (2013) no. 1, pp. 1-30.

Nous démontrons que le discriminant du polynôme de Laguerre généralisé L n (α) (x), pour un couple (n,α) d’entiers avec n1, n’est le carré d’un entier non nul que si (n,α) fait partie d’une trentaine d’ensembles explicites et infinis ou si (n,α) fait partie d’un ensemble supplémentaire qui est fini. Donc nous obtenons de nouvelles informations concernant la réalisation du groupe alterné A n comme groupe de Galois du polynôme L n α (x) sur les nombres rationnels . Par exemple, nous établissons que pour tous les entiers positifs n avec n2(mod4) (avec un nombre fini de cas exceptionnels), la seule valeur d’α pour laquelle le groupe de Galois est le groupe alterné A n est le cas où α=n.

We show that the discriminant of the generalized Laguerre polynomial L n (α) (x) is a non-zero square for some integer pair (n,α), with n1, if and only if (n,α) belongs to one of 30 explicitly given infinite sets of pairs or to an additional finite set of pairs. As a consequence, we obtain new information on when the Galois group of L n (α) (x) over is the alternating group A n . For example, we establish that for all but finitely many positive integers n2(mod4), the only α for which the Galois group of L n (α) (x) over is A n is α=n.
