On Galois groups of Salem polynomials

The primary topic of this thesis is the Galois group of an irreducible Salem polynomial and how the precise structure of the roots of such a polynomial is reflected in its Galois group. The main goal is the proof of the structure of these Galois groups always being a Semidirect product N x G/N. This...
