For every nonconstant polynomial $f\in\mathbb Q[x]$, let $\Phi_{4,f}$ denote the fourth dynatomic polynomial of $f$. We determine here the structure of the Galois group and the degrees of the irreducible factors of $\Phi_{4,f}$ for every…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on $\mathbb{Z}$ that is not a Dirac mass and that has finite support. We prove that if the coefficients of a monic polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n$ are chosen independently at random…

Let $f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_p[x]$, and define the orbit of $x\in \mathbb{F}_p$ under the iteration of $f$ to be the set \[ \mathcal{O}(x):=\{x,f(x),(f\circ f)(x),(f\circ f\circ f)(x),\dots\}. \] An orbit is a $k$-cycle if it is periodic of…

Let $f(x)$ be a monic polynomial in $\dZ[x]$ with no rational roots but with roots in $\dQ_p$ for all $p$, or equivalently, with roots mod $n$ for all $n$. It is known that $f(x)$ cannot be irreducible but can be a product of two or more…

We consider the set of monic irreducible polynomials $P$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the multiplicative order modulo $P$ of some a in $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ is divisible by a fixed positive integer $d$. Call $R_q(a,d)$ this set.…

Let $S$ be a rational fraction and let $f$ be a polynomial over a finite field. Consider the transform $T(f)=\operatorname{numerator}(f(S))$. In certain cases, the polynomials $f$, $T(f)$, $T(T(f))\dots$ are all irreducible. For instance,…

We determine the density of monic integer polynomials of given degree $n>1$ that have squarefree discriminant; in particular, we prove for the first time that the lower density of such polynomials is positive. Similarly, we prove that the…

In 2002, M.Ram Murty showed that if p is a prime with k-adic expansion :$p = \sum_{i = 0}^n a_i k^i$ , then the polynomial $f(x) = \sum_{i = 0}^n a_ix^i$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$.When $k = 10$ , it's a result of A.Cohn. I think…

Given a polynomial f(z) = z^d + c over a global field K and a_0 in K, we study the density of prime ideals of K dividing at least one element of the orbit of a_0 under f. The density of such sets for linear polynomials has attracted much…

Let $f(x) = \sum\limits _{i=0}^{n} a_i x^i $ be a polynomial with coefficients from the ring $\mathbb{Z}$ of integers satisfying either $(i)$ $0 < a_0 \leq a_{1} \leq \cdots \leq a_{k-1} < a_{k} < a_{k+1} \leq \cdots \leq a_n$ for some $k$,…

Let $f$ be an irreducible polynomial of prime degree $p\geq 5$ over $\QQ$, with precisely $k$ pairs of complex roots. Using a result of Jens H\"{o}chsmann (1999), we show that if $p\geq 4k+1$ then $\Gal(f/\QQ)$ is isomorphic to $A_{p}$ or…

Let a be a positive integer greater than 1, and Q_a(x;k,j) be the set of primes p less than x such that the residual order of a(mod p) is congruent to j modulo k. In this paper, the natural densities of Q_a(x;4,j) (j=0,1,2,3) are…

Given a prime power $q$ and positive integers $m,t,e$ with $e > mt/2$, we determine the number of all monic irreducible polynomials $f(x)$ of degree $m$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that $f(x^t)$ contains an irreducible factor…

We show that for a random polynomial \[ F(X) = \sum_{n=1}^{N} f(n) X^{n-1}, \] where $f(n)$ is a random completely multiplicative function taking values in $\{\pm 1\}$, one has \[ \limsup_{N \to \infty} \mathbb{P}\big[F(X) \text{ is…

We consider random polynomials with independent identically distributed coefficients with a fixed law. Assuming the Riemann hypothesis for Dedekind zeta functions, we prove that such polynomials are irreducible and their Galois groups…

In a recent paper, we considered integers n for which the polynomial x^n - 1 has a divisor in Z[x] of every degree up to n, and we gave upper and lower bounds for their distribution. In this paper, we consider those n for which the…

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadratic polynomial to be irreducible in the ring $Z[[x]]$ of formal power series with integer coefficients. For $n,m\ge 1$ and $p$ prime, we show that $p^n+p^m\beta x+\alpha x^2$ is…

A monogenic polynomial $f$ is a monic irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients which produces a monogenic number field. For a given prime $q$, using the Chebotarev density theorem, we will show the density of primes $p$, such that…

A polynomial with integer coefficients yields a family of dynamical systems indexed by primes as follows: for any prime $p$, reduce its coefficients mod $p$ and consider its action on the field $\mathbb{F}_p$. We say a subset of…

We study integer coefficient polynomials of fixed degree and maximum height $H$, that are irreducible by Dumas's criterion. We call such polynomials Dumas polynomials. We derive upper bounds on the number of Dumas polynomials, as $H$…
