Polynomial systems can be effectively solved by exploiting structure present in their Galois group. Esterov determined two conditions for which the Galois group of a sparse polynomial system is imprimitive, and showed that the Galois group is the symmetric group otherwise. A system with an imprimitive Galois group can be decomposed into simpler systems, which themselves may be further decomposed. Esterov's conditions give a stopping criterion for decomposing these systems and leads to a recursive algorithm for efficient solving.
