Generating series for irreducible polynomials over finite fields

Algebraic Geometry 2009-10-16 v2 Combinatorics

Abstract

We count the number of irreducible polynomials in several variables of a given degree over a finite field. The results are expressed in terms of a generating series, an exact formula and an asymptotic approximation. We also consider the case of the multi-degree and the case of indecomposable polynomials.
