The full wreath-product Galois group conjecture for fpf_p

Let pp be a prime, let fpf_p be the polynomial studied in the source, let gpg_p be its associated auxiliary polynomial, and write

hp=deg(gp).h_p=\deg(g_p).

Let Q(fp)\mathbb Q(f_p) denote the splitting field of fpf_p over Q\mathbb Q. The full Galois group conjecture. The extension Q(fp)/Q\mathbb Q(f_p)/\mathbb Q is Galois with Galois group

(Z/2Z)hpShp,(\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)^{h_p}\rtimes S_{h_p},

where ShpS_{h_p} acts naturally by permuting the factors of (Z/2Z)hp(\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)^{h_p}. This predicts the maximal Galois group compatible with the quadratic extensions arising from the roots of fpf_p; the source reports computational evidence but does not state a resolution.
