Galois groups of low degree points on curves

Low degree points on curves have been subject of intense
study for several decades, but little attention has been paid to the
Galois groups of those points. In this talk we recall primitive group
actions, and focus on low degree points whose Galois group is
primitive. We shall see that such points are relatively rare, and that
they interfere with each other. This talk is based on joint work with
Maleeha Khawaja.
