A Summary of Known Bounds on the Essential Dimension and Resolvent Degree of Finite Groups

Abstract

We summarize what is currently known about ed$(G)$ and RD$(G)$ for finite groups $G$ over $\mathbb{C}$ (i.e. in characteristic 0). In Appendix A, we also give an argument which improves the known bound on RD(PSL$(2,{\mathbb{F}}_{11})$).
