The prime divisors of a polynomial $P$ with integer coefficients are those primes $p$ for which $P(x) \equiv 0 \pmod{p}$ is solvable. Our main result is that the common prime divisors of any several polynomials are exactly the prime…

Let $F$ be a number field, $O_F$ the integral closure of $\mathbb{Z}$ in $F$ and $P(T) \in O_F[T]$ a monic separable polynomial such that $P(0) \not=0$ and $P(1) \not=0$. We give precise sufficient conditions on a given positive integer $k$…

We characterize the fixed divisor of a polynomial $f(X)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ by looking at the contraction of the powers of the maximal ideals of the overring ${\rm Int}(\mathbb{Z})$ containing $f(X)$. Given a prime $p$ and a positive…

For a function field $K$ and fixed polynomial $F\in K[x]$ and varying $f\in F$ (under certain restrictions) we give a lower bound for the degree of the greatest prime divisor of $F(f)$ in terms of the height of $f$, establishing a strong…

In this paper, we consider the family of monic polynomials with prime coefficients and the family of all polynomials with prime coefficients. We determine the number of $f(x)$ in each of these families having: squarefree discriminant;…

Let $P(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a polynomial. We give an easy and new proof of the fact that the set of primes $p$ such that $p \mid P(n)$, for some $n \in \mathbb{Z}$, is infinite. We also get analog of this result for some special…

Let $f(z)$ be in $1+z\mathbb{Q}[[z]]$ and $\mathcal{S}$ be an infinite set of prime numbers such that, for all $p\in\mathcal{S}$, we can reduce $f(z)$ modulo $p$. We let $f(z)_{\mid p}$ denote the reduction of $f(z)$ modulo $p$. Generally,…

We denote $\mathcal{P}$ = $\{P(x)|$ $P(n) \mid n!$ for infinitely many $n\}$. This article identifies some polynomials that belong to $\mathcal{P}$. Additionally, we also denote $P^+(m)$ as the largest prime factor of $m$. Then, a…

The paper is about an arithmetic problem in $\F_2[x]$. We give \emph{admissible} (necessary) conditions satisfied by a set of odd prime divisors of perfect polynomials over $\F_2$. This allows us to prove a new characterization of…

In this paper, we consider the problem of determining the density of monic polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with squarefree discriminant over various subsets of the set of monic polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ of fixed degree. We compute the…

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…

For a large prime $p$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field $F_p$ of $p$ elements, we obtain a lower bound on the size of the multiplicative subgroup of $F_p^*$ containing $H\ge 1$ consecutive values $f(x)$, $x = u+1, \ldots, u+H$,…

We consider polynomials of the form t^n-1 and determine when members of this family have a divisor of every degree in Z[t]. With F(x) defined to be the number of such integers up to x, we prove the existence of two positive constants c_1…

For a polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb Z[x]$ without non-trivial linear relations among roots, we propose a conjecture on the distribution of the least root $r_p$ ($r_p\in\mathbb Z,\,0\le r_p<p)$ of $f(x)\equiv0\bmod p$ where $p$ runs over the…

In this paper, we compute the size of the exceptional set in a generalized Goldbach problem and show that for a given polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with a positive leading coefficient, positive integers $A$, $B$, $g$ and $0 \leq i, j…

We give necessary conditions satisfied by the set of odd prime divisors of binary perfect polynomials. This allows us to get a new characterization of all the known perfect binary polynomials.

Let $K $ be a nonic number field generated by a complex root $\th$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $ F(x)= x^9+ax+b \in \Z[x]$, where $ab \neq 0$. Let $i(K)$ be the index of $K$. A rational prime $p$ dividing $ i(K)$ is called a prime…

We prove some sufficient conditions implying $l^p$ inequalities of the form $||x||_p \leq ||y||_p$ for vectors $ x, y \in [0,\infty)^n$ and for $p$ in certain positive real intervals. Our sufficient conditions are strictly weaker than the…
