Abstract

We provide a modular method for computing the splitting field K f of an integral polynomial f by suitable use of the byproduct of computation of its Galois group G f by p-adic Stauduhar’s method. This method uses the knowledge of G f with its action on the roots of f over a p-adic number field, and it reduces the computation of K f to solving systems of linear equations modulo some powers of p and Hensel liftings. We provide a careful treatment on reducing computational difficulty. We examine the ability/practicality of the method by experiments on a real computer and study its complexity.
