Let $f,g in mathbbZ[X]$ be monic polynomials. It is possible for distinct monic polynomials over $mathbbZ$ to have the same splitting field. For example $f = x^4 - 2$ and $g= x^4+2$ both have splitting field
$mathbbQ(sqrt[leftroot-2uproot24]2, i)$. Here $f,g$ are both irreducible with equal degrees.



Another example is $f=x^n - 1$ and $g=Phi_n(x)$, the $n$'th cyclotomic polynomial. The splitting field of both is the $n$'th cyclotomic field. In this case, $g$ is irreducible and divides $f$. The degree of $g$ is of course $varphi(n)$.



Question: Suppose $f,g$ are monic and irreducible, with coprime degrees. Say $deg f = n$ and $deg g = k$. Let us write $K_f$ and $K_g$ for their splitting fields.



Is it possible for these splitting fields to coincide, $K_f = K_g$? I am particularly interested in the case $k=n-1$.



I have attempted to approach the question using group theory. If we write $G$ for their common Galois group, then via the action of $G$ on the roots of $f$ and $g$ respectively, we would realize $G$ as a transitive subgroup of both $S_n$ and $S_k$. Therefore, as $k$ and $n$ are coprime




  1. $nk mid |G|$.

  2. $|G| leq k!$


  3. $[S_n : G] geq n(n-1)cdots(k+1)$.

Furthermore, if $alpha$ is a root of $f$ and $beta$ is a root of $g$, then their stabilizers $Stab(alpha)$ and $Stab(beta)$ are subgroups of index $n$ and $k$ respectively. As these are coprime by assumption we would have $G = Stab(alpha)Stab(beta)$.



My conjecture is that this is not possible, but I am not able to show it. I seem to remember that, if $l < q$ then $S_l$ is never a transitive subgroup of $S_q$, except the case $S_5 leq S_6$. Here $S_5$ acts transitively on it's $5$-Sylow subgroups by conjugation, and there are $6$ of them. However, I might be wrong as I am unable to recover a reference for this. Of course, if this was true, we would simply strengthen 2. and 3. above to strict inequalities, unless $n=6$ and $k=5$.



I am also unaware whether there exists such a $f$ with degree $6$ and Galois group $S_5$ acting on the roots in this exotic manner.
