We establish automatic realizations of Galois groups among groups M ⋊ G, where G is a cyclic group of order p for a prime p and M is a quotient of the group ring Fp[G]. The fundamental problem in inverse Galois theory is to determine, for a given field F and a given profinite group G, whether there exists a Galois extension K/F such that Gal(K/F ) is isomorphic to G. A natural sort of reduction...
