Abstract

In 2002, M.Ram Murty showed that if p is a prime with k-adic expansion :p=i=0naikip = \sum_{i = 0}^n a_i k^i , then the polynomial f(x)=i=0naixif(x) = \sum_{i = 0}^n a_ix^i is irreducible in Z[x]\mathbb{Z}[x].When k=10k = 10 , it's a result of A.Cohn. I think this kind of polynomials is really interesting and worse to speak more. So I plan to find more conclusions about this kind of polynomials. In the first section of this article, author proves a stronger version of this theorem that if we multiply prime pp by a factor tt that is smaller than kk ,the conclusion also holds. In the second section, author further consider larger multiplier tt ,and gives a technique to control one of the factors of the polynomial.
