    Galois groups for one class of equations (English)
    0 references
    Let \(n\) be a natural number, then \(L_n=\mathbb Q(\mathrm{cos}\frac{\pi}{n})\) is the maximal real subfield of the cyclotomic field \(\mathbb Q(\zeta_{2n})\) and \(L_n/\mathbb Q\) is abelian of degree \(\varphi(2n)/2\). In the paper under review the authors give a recursive formula for the minimal polynomial \(p_n(x)\) of \(\mathrm{cos}\frac{\pi}{n}\) and an explicit description of the Galois group \(G(L_n/\mathbb Q)\).
