Arthur Cohn's irreducibility criterion for polynomials with integer coefficients and its generalization connect primes to irreducibles, and integral bases to the variable $x$. As we follow this link, we find that these polynomials are ready…

For a set $S$ of quadratic polynomials over a finite field, let $C$ be the (infinite) set of arbitrary compositions of elements in $S$. In this paper we show that there are examples with arbitrarily large $S$ such that every polynomial in…

An algorithm for factoring polynomials over finite fields is given by Berlekamp in 1967. The main tool was the matrix Q corresponding to each polynomial. This paper studies the degrees of polynomials over binary field that associated with…

A new efficient algorithm is proposed for factoring polynomials over an algebraic extension field. The extension field is defined by a polynomial ring modulo a maximal ideal. If the maximal ideal is given by its Groebner basis, no extra…

Given a valued field $(K,v)$ and an irreducible polynomial $g\in K[x]$, we survey the ideas of Ore, Maclane, Okutsu, Montes, Vaqui\'e and Herrera-Olalla-Mahboub-Spivakovsky, leading (under certain conditions) to an algorithm to find the…

Polynomial system solving is a classical problem in mathematics with a wide range of applications. This makes its complexity a fundamental problem in computer science. Depending on the context, solving has different meanings. In order to…

Given a black box group $\mathsf{Y}$ encrypting $\rm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{F})$ over an unknown field $\mathbb{F}$ of unknown odd characteristic $p$ and a global exponent $E$ for $\mathsf{Y}$ (that is, an integer $E$ such that $\mathsf{y}^E=1$ for…

We classify the pairs of polynomials $f,g$ over a field $K$, such that $f(X)-g(Y)$ has a factor of total degree at most 2. This was done by Y. Bilu for characteristic 0 fields $K$. As his method does not work in positive characteristic, we…

We consider incomplete exponential sums in several variables of the form S(f,n,m) = \frac{1}{2^n} \sum_{x_1 \in \{-1,1\}} ... \sum_{x_n \in \{-1,1\}} x_1 ... x_n e^{2\pi i f(x)/p}, where m>1 is odd and f is a polynomial of degree d with…

Let $V$ be a valuation ring of a global field $K$. We show that for all positive integers $k$ and $1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k$ there exists an integer-valued polynomial on $V$, that is, an element of $\text{Int}(V) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid…

Let $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a nonconstant polynomial. Let $n, k$ and $c$ be integers such that $n\ge 1$ and $k\ge 2$. An integer $a$ is called an $f$-exunit in the ring $\mathbb{Z}_n$ of residue classes modulo $n$ if $\gcd(f(a),n)=1$. In…
