We present counting methods for some special classes of multivariate polynomials over a finite field, namely the reducible ones, the s-powerful ones (divisible by the s-th power of a nonconstant polynomial), and the relatively irreducible…

We obtain explicit upper bounds for the number of irreducible factors for a class of compositions of polynomials in several variables over a given field. In particular, some irreducibility criteria are given for this class of compositions…

We study a random polynomial of degree $n$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, where the coefficients are independent and identically distributed and uniformly chosen from the squares in $\mathbb{F}_q$. Our main result demonstrates that…

We consider the question of certifying that a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ or ${\mathbb Q}[x]$ is irreducible. Knowing that a polynomial is irreducible lets us recognise that a quotient ring is actually a field extension (equiv.~that a…

We give a formula and an estimation for the number of irreducible polynomials in two (or more) variables over a finite field.

A key property of an algebraic variety is whether it is absolutely irreducible, meaning that it remains irreducible over the algebraic closure of its defining field, and determining absolute irreducibility is important in algebraic geometry…

In this paper, a randomized algorithm for deciding the irreducibility of an irreducible polynomial and factoring a reducible polynomial over the field of rational numbers is presented. The main idea underlying the algorithm is based on…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a prime power and $n$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we explore the factorization of $f(x^{n})$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, where $f(x)$ is an irreducible polynomial…

We show that the counts of low degree irreducible factors of a random polynomial $f$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ with independent but non-uniform coefficients behave like that of a uniform random polynomial, exhibiting a form of universality for…

In this article, we obtain upper bounds on the number of irreducible factors of some classes of polynomials having integer coefficients, which in particular yield some of the well known irreducibility criteria. For devising our results, we…

This paper investigates whether or not polynomials that are irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathbb{Z}$ can remain irreducible under substitution by all quadratic polynomials. It answers this question in the negative in the degree 2 and…

We provide an irreducibility test in the ring K[[x]][y] whose complexity is quasi-linear with respect to the discriminant valuation, assuming the input polynomial F square-free and K a perfect field of characteristic zero or greater than…

Most integers are composite and most univariate polynomials over a finite field are reducible. The Prime Number Theorem and a classical result of Gau{\ss} count the remaining ones, approximately and exactly. For polynomials in two or more…

We consider various counting questions for irreducible binomials over finite fields. We use various results from analytic number theory to investigate these questions.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. M. Gerstenhaber and Irving Reiner has given two different methods to show the number of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. In this talk, we will give another proof for…

We present a more general proof that cyclotomic polynomials are irreducible over Q and other number fields that meet certain conditions. The proof provides a new perspective that ties together well-known results, as well as some new…

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 provide upper bounds on the total number of irreducible factors, and in particular irreducibility criteria for some classes of bivariate polynomials $f(x,y)$ over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. Our results rely on information on the…
