Abstract

A polynomial with coefficients in the ring of integers OK\mathcal{O}_{K} of a global field KK is called intersective if it has a root modulo every finite-indexed subgroup of OK\mathcal{O}_{K}. We prove two criteria for a polynomial f(x)OK[x]f(x)\in\mathcal{O}_{K}[x] to be intersective. One of these criteria is in terms of the Galois group of the splitting field of the polynomial, whereas the second criterion is verifiable entirely in terms of constants which depend upon KK and the polynomial ff. The proofs use the theory of global field extensions and upper bound on the least prime ideal in the Chebotarev density theorem.
