The CM Galois group realization conjecture for Weil numbers

Let W2g=C2gSgW_{2g}=C_2^g\rtimes S_g be the wreath product acting on the 2g2g conjugates in gg complex-conjugate pairs, and let GG be a transitive subgroup of W2gW_{2g} containing complex conjugation. A CM Galois group realization conjecture asserts that there is a Weil qq-number π\pi such that

Gal(Q(π)gal/Q)G.\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbf{Q}(\pi)^{\operatorname{gal}}/\mathbf{Q})\cong G.

The preceding lemma gives the necessary constraints on the Galois group in the usual case d=gd=g; the conjecture says these constraints are also sufficient. The condition that GG contain complex conjugation is necessary, since a transitive subgroup of W8W_8 without complex conjugation does not arise as the Galois group of a CM-field.
