We describe an explicit version of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem using a generalization of Gallagher's larger sieve. We give applications to the Galois theory of random polynomials, and to the images of the adelic representation…

Let $X= \mathbb{P}^1 \setminus \{0,1,\infty\}$, and let $S$ denote a finite set of prime numbers. In an article of 2005, Minhyong Kim gave a new proof of Siegel's theorem for $X$: the set $X(\mathbb{Z}[S^{-1}])$ of $S$-integral points of…

The ring of integer-valued polynomials over a given subset $S$ of $\Z$ (or $ \mathrm{Int}(S,\Z ))$ is defined as the set of polynomials in $\Q[x]$ which maps $S$ to $\Z$. In factorization theory, it is crucial to check the irreducibility of…

Let HN denote the problem of determining whether a system of multivariate polynomials with integer coefficients has a complex root. It has long been known that HN in P implies P=NP and, thanks to recent work of Koiran, it is now known that…

We apply the method of multiple Dirichlet series to develop $L$-functions ratios conjecture with one shift in both the numerator and denominator in certain ranges for the family of quartic Hecke $L$-functions of prime moduli over the…

In this article we study the irreducibility of polynomials of the form $x^n+\epsilon_1 x^m+p^k\epsilon_2$, $p$ being a prime number. We will show that they are irreducible for $m=1$. We have also provided the cyclotomic factors and…

We study sums of Dirichlet characters over polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ with a prescribed number of irreducible factors. Our main results are explicit formulae for these sums in terms of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions. We also exhibit…

Let $S$ be a domain and $R=S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ a skew polynomial ring, where $\sigma$ is an injective endomorphism of $S$ and $\delta$ a left $\sigma$ -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials $f\in R$ of degree less or equal to…

Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem is a cornerstone that joins areas of analysis and number theory. Both the genesis and genius of its proof involved combining real analysis and combinatorics. We try to expose the motivations that led Hilbert…

Let $p$ be a prime and $b(x)$ be an irreducible polynomial of degree $k$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$. Let $d\geq 1$ be an integer. Consider the following question: Is $b(x^d)$ irreducible? We derive necessary conditions for $b(x^d)$ to be…

In this paper we give elementary conditions completely characterising when the theory of modules of a Pr\"ufer domain is decidable. Using these results, we show that the theory of modules of the ring of integer valued polynomials is…

Extending a classical integral representation of Dirichlet L-functions associated to a non trivial primitive character we define associated functions B(y,z) which are eigenfunction of a Hermitian operator H. The eigenvalues are the…

We are interested in Moebius function and related topics!

Under the generalized Lindel\"of Hypothesis in the t- and q-aspects, we bound exponential sums with coefficients of Dirichlet series belonging to a certain class. We use these estimates to establish a conditional result on squares of Hecke…

We adopt A. J. Irving's sieve method to study the almost-prime values produced by products of irreducible polynomials evaluated at prime arguments. This generalizes the previous results of Irving and Kao, who separately examined the…

Let $S \subset R$ be an arbitrary subset of a unique factorization domain $R$ and $\K$ be the field of fractions of $R$. The ring of integer-valued polynomials over $S$ is the set $\mathrm{Int}(S,R)= \{ f \in \mathbb{K}[x]: f(a) \in R\…

We derive the Hasse principle and weak approximation for pencils of certain varieties in the spirit of work by Colliot-Th\'el\`ene,Sansuc and Harpaz-Skorobogatov-Wittenberg. Our varieties are defined through polynomials in many variables…

H. Lenstra has pointed out that a cubic polynomial of the form (x-a)(x-b)(x-c) + r(x-d)(x-e), where {a,b,c,d,e} is some permutation of {0,1,2,3,4}, is irreducible modulo 5 because every possible linear factor divides one summand but not the…

New and old results on closed polynomials, i.e., such polynomials f in K[x_1,...,x_n] that the subalgebra K[f] is integrally closed in K[x_1,...,x_n], are collected. Using some properties of closed polynomials we prove the following…

In this article, we give an account of some recent irreducibility testing criteria for polynomials having integer coefficients over the field of rational numbers.
