In the polynomial ring $k[X_1,\ldots,X_n]$, one defines the ideal of $\underlineα$-relations as the set ${\germ M}$ of those $p$’s such that $p(\underlineα)=0$. It is a maximal ideal whose residue field $k[X_1,\ldots,X_n]/{\germ M}$ is $k$-isomorphic to the splitting field $k(\underlineα)$ of $f$. The decomposition group of ${\germ M}$, that is, the group of permutations of $\{X_1,\dots,X_n\}$ which leave ${\germ M}$ invariant, corresponds to the Galois group $G$ of $f$ as a group of permutations of $\{α_1,\ldots,α_n\}$. This paper deals with the following problem: given $f$ as above, one wants to effectively compute $G$ and the reduced (lexicographic) Gröbner basis ${\germ I}$ of ${\germ M}$. The present paper is an extension of two unpublished works by the author, and a joint work with {\it S. Orange} and {\it G. Renault} (in revision in Exp. Math.). The author’s main goal is to compute ${\germ I}$ in a more efficient way than in previously known methods, including her own algorithm {\sl GaloisIdéal} [{\it A. Valibouze}, Bull. Belg. Math. Soc. Simon Stevin 6, 507‒535 (1999; Zbl 0943.12001)]. She describes a new algorithm and gives some examples to illustrate the gains obtained with her method. rv: Bernat Plans (Barcelona)
