We give a new proof of the Hansen-Mullen irreducibility conjecture. The proof relies on an application of a (seemingly new) sufficient condition for the existence of elements of degree $n$ in the support of functions on finite fields. This…

We give a lower bound for the degree of an irreducible factor of a given polynomial. This improves and generalizes the results obtained in [4, On the irreducible factors of a polynomial, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 148 (2020] 1429 -- 1437].

Classes of polynomial differential equations of degree n are considered. An explicit upper bound on the size of the coefficients are given which implies that each equation in the class has exactly n complex periodic solutions. In most of…

Goppa codes are particularly appealing for cryptographic applications. Every improvement of our knowledge of Goppa codes is of particular interest. In this paper, we present a sufficient and necessary condition for an irreducible monic…

Let $q$ be an odd prime power and $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field of $q$ elements. We define the Rudin-Shapiro function $R$ on monic polynomials $f=t^n+f_{n-1}t^{n-1}+\dots + f_0\in\mathbb{F}_q[t]$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$ by $$…

Given a polynomial P in several variables over an algebraically closed field, we show that except in some special cases that we fully describe, if one coefficient is allowed to vary, then the polynomial is irreducible for all but at most…

Using Katz's equidistribution framework, we show that for any squarefree polynomial $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[t]$ of degree $n \ge 2$, every residue class modulo $f$ can be represented as a product of two monic irreducible polynomials of degree…

We provide an alternative exposition of a result due to Schinzel. Fix an integer $k \ge 2$. For almost all choices of positive integers $n_{1} < \cdots < n_{k}$, we show that the polynomial $F(x) = 1 + x^{n_{1}} + \cdots + x^{n_{k}}$,…

Let $f(x)$ be a square free quartic polynomial defined over a quadratic field $K$ such that its leading coefficient is a square. If the continued fraction expansion of $\displaystyle \sqrt{f(x)}$ is periodic, then its period $n$ lies in the…

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…

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 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…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field with $q$ elements and $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ the ring of polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. Let $l(x), k(x)$ be coprime polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_{q}[x]$ and $\Phi(k)$ the Euler function in…

The goal of this paper is to prove that a random polynomial with i.i.d. random coefficients taking values uniformly in $\{1,\ldots, 210\}$ is irreducible with probability tending to $1$ as the degree tends to infinity. Moreover, we prove…

In this paper we prove that decomposable forms, or homogeneous polynomials $F(x_1, \cdots, x_n)$ with integer coefficients which split completely into linear factors over $\mathbb{C}$, take on infinitely many square-free values subject to…

Assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for Dedekind zeta functions. Under this assumption, we prove that a degree $d$ polynomial with random multiplicative $\pm1$ coefficients is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with probability…

Let $f$ be sampled uniformly at random from the set of degree $n$ polynomials whose coefficients lie in $\{ \pm 1\}$. A folklore conjecture, known to hold under GRH, states that the probability that $f$ is irreducible tends to $1$ as $n$…

Let $k \geq 1$ be a natural number and $f \in \mathbb{F}_q[t]$ be a monic polynomial. Let $\omega_k(f)$ denote the number of distinct monic irreducible factors of $f$ with multiplicity $k$. We obtain asymptotic estimates for the first and…

We estimate several probability distributions arising from the study of random, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with coefficients in the integers of a general $p$-adic field $K_{\mathfrak{p}}$ having residue field with $q= p^f$ elements. We…

We present three proofs of an observation of Ahmadi on the number of irreducible polynomials over $\text{GF}(2)$ with certain traces and cotraces, the most interesting of which uses an explicit natural bijection. We also present two proofs…
