Essential dimension of symmetric groups in prime characteristic by Edens, Oakley, Reichstein, Zinovy

“…The essential dimension $\operatorname{ed}_k(\operatorname{S}_n)$ of the symmetric group $\operatorname{S}_n$ is the minimal integer $d$ such that the general polynomial $x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \dots + a_n$ can be reduced to a $d$-parameter form by a Tschirnhaus transformation. Finding this number is a long-standing open problem, originating in the work of Felix Klein, long before essential dimension of a finite group was formally defined. …”
