We study the probability that a random polynomial with integer coefficients is reducible when factored over the rational numbers. Using computer-generated data, we investigate a number of different models, including both monic and non-monic…

It is known that random monic integral polynomials of bounded degree $d$ and integral coefficients distributed uniformly and independently in $[-H,H]$ are irreducible over $\mathbb{Z}$ with probability tending to $1$ as $H\to \infty$. In…

Motivated by the question of whether a random polynomial with integer coefficients is likely to be irreducible, we study the probability that a monic polynomial with integer coefficients has a low-degree factor over the integers, which is…

Let $q\geqslant 2$ be a fixed prime power. We prove an asymptotic formula for counting the number of monic polynomials that are of degree $n$ and have exactly $k$ irreducible factors over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We also compare our…

When monic integral polynomials of degree $n \geq 2$ are ordered by the maximum of the absolute value of their coefficients, the Hilbert irreducibility theorem implies that asymptotically 100% are irreducible and have Galois group…

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, Bary-Soroker, Koukoulopoulos and Kozma proved that when $A$ is a random monic polynomial of $\mathbb{Z}[X]$ of deterministic degree $n$ with coefficients $a_j$ drawn independently according to measures $\mu_j,$ then $A$…
