Abstract

We prove that for any prime p>2, q=p^ν a power of p, n≥p and G=S_n or G=A_n (symmetric or alternating group), there exists a Galois extension K/F_q(T) ramified only over ∞ with Gal(K/F_q(T))=G. This confirms a conjecture of Abhyankar for the case of symmetric and alternating groups over finite fields of odd characteristic.
