COMMENTS
Generating polynomial is Schur's polynomial of degree 3. Schur's n-degree polynomials are the first n terms of the series expansion of the e^x function. All polynomials are irreducible and belong to the An alternating Galois transitive group if n is divisible by 4 or to the Sn symmetric Galois Group otherwise (proof: Schur, 1930).
