Specializations of Generalized Rikuna Polynomials
Abstract: The generalized Rikuna polynomials are an iterative generalization of Rikuna's generic cyclic polynomials. We will discuss some results on the behaviour of these polynomials under specialization, giving some geometric characterizations of the reducible specializations and the specializations with Galois group smaller than the function field case.
