%0 Journal Article %T The essential dimension of the normalizer of a maximal torus in the projective linear group %A Aurel Meyer %A Zinovy Reichstein %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Let p be a prime, k be a field of characteristic different from p containing a primitive p-th root of unity and N be the normalizer of the maximal torus in the projective linear group PGLn. We compute the exact value of the essential dimension ed(N;p) of N at p for every n. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0809.1688v1
