Essential dimension relative to branched covers of degree at most n

Benson Farb, Jesse Wolfson

We prove for various finite groups $G$ and integers $n \geq 1$ that there are families of equations with Galois group $G$ that cannot be simplified to a one-parameter family even af…

Solvable points on intersections of quadrics, cubics, and quartics

Claudio Gómez-Gonzáles, Jesse Wolfson

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. We establish polynomial lower bounds on the ambient dimension $N$ for an intersection $X \subset P^{N}$ of quadrics, cubics an…

Generalized Versality, Special Points, and Resolvent Degree for the Sporadic Groups

Claudio Gómez-Gonzáles, Alexander J. Sutherland, Jesse Wolfson

Resolvent degree is an invariant measuring the complexity of algebraic and geometric phenomena, including the complexity of finite groups. To date, the resolvent degree of a finite…
