The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…

Jakhar shown that for $f(x)=a_nx^n + a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdot+ a_0$ ($a_0\neq 0$) is a polynomial with rational coefficients, if there exists a prime integer $p$ satisfying $\nu_p(a_n)=0$ and $n\nu_p(a_i)\ge (n-i)\nu_p(a_0)> 0$ for every $0\le…

The Fibonacci polynomials are defined recursively as $f_{n}(x)=xf_{n-1}(x)+f_{n-2}(x)$, where $f_0(x) = 0$ and $f_1(x)= 1$. We generalize these polynomials to an arbitrary number of variables with the $r$-Fibonacci polynomial. We extend…

In this paper, we obtain several new factorization results for certain classes of polynomials having integer coefficients. In doing so, we use the information about prime factorization of the value taken up by such polynomials and their…

This paper addresses the factorization of polynomials of the form $F(x) = f_{0}(x) + f_{1}(x) x^{n} + \cdots + f_{r-1}(x) x^{(r-1)n} + f_{r}(x) x^{rn}$ where $r$ is a fixed positive integer and the $f_{j}(x)$ are fixed polynomials in…

We give a criterion when a polynomial $x^n-g$ is irreducible over a pseudofinite field. As an application we give an explicit description of algebraic closure of some pseudofinite fields of zero characteristic.

We study the question up to which power an irreducible integer-valued polynomial that is not absolutely irreducible can factor uniquely. For example, for integer-valued polynomials over principal ideal domains with square-free denominator,…

We establish a lower bound for the frequency with which an irreducible monic cubic polynomial with negative discriminant can be expressed as a sum of two squares ($\square_{2}$). This provides a quantitative answer to a question posed by…

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…

We study the structure of bounded degree polynomials over finite fields. Haramaty and Shpilka [STOC 2010] showed that biased degree three or four polynomials admit a strong structural property. We confirm that this is the case for degree…

Given a field $K$ and $n > 1$, we say that a polynomial $f \in K[x]$ has newly reducible $n$th iterate over $K$ if $f^{n-1}$ is irreducible over $K$, but $f^n$ is not (here $f^i$ denotes the $i$th iterate of $f$). We pose the problem of…

An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…

We classify irreducible unitary representations of the group of all infinite matrices over a $p$-adic field ($p\ne 2$) with integer elements equipped with a natural topology. Any irreducible representation passes through a group $GL$ of…

We classify order $3$ linear difference operators over $\mathbb{C}(x)$ that are solvable in terms of lower order difference operators. To prove this result, we introduce the notion of absolute irreducibility for difference modules, and…

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

Let GF(q), q=p^r, be a finite field with a primitive element g. In this paper we use exponential sums and Jacobi sums to compute the number of the irreducible polynomials of degree m over GF(q) with trace fixed and norm restricted to a…

In this article, we prove some factorization results for several classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield several classes of irreducible polynomials. Such classes of polynomials are devised by imposing…

Recently the problem of constructing a perfect Euler cuboid was related with three conjectures asserting the irreducibility of some certain three polynomials depending on integer parameters. In this paper a partial result toward proving the…

In this paper we investigate the factorization behaviour of the binomial polynomials $\binom{x}{n} = \frac{x(x-1)\cdots (x-n+1)}{n!}$ and their powers in the ring of integer-valued polynomials $\operatorname{Int}(\mathbb{Z})$. While it is…

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…
