The inverse Galois problem for PSL2(Fp)

Abstract

We show that the simple group PSL2(Fp) occurs as the Galois group of an extension of the rationals for all primes p>3. We obtain our Galois extensions by studying the Galois action on the second etale cohomology groups of a specific elliptic surface.
