Richard G. Swan proved in 1962 that trinomials x^{8k} + x^m + 1 with 8k > m have an even number of irreducible factors, and so cannot be irreducible. In fact, he found the parity of the number of irreducible factors for any square-free…
Given an positive integer $k$, let $n:=\binom{k+1}{2}$. In 2012, during a talk at UCLA, Jan Saxl conjectured that all irreducible representations of the symmetric group $S_n$ occur in the decomposition of the tensor square of the…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic two. We prove that a non constant monic polynomial $f\in k[X]$ of degree $n$ is the minimal/characteristic polynomial of a symmetric matrix with entries in $k$ if and only if it is not the product of…
The Fibonacci polynomials are defined recursively as $f_{n}(x)=xf_{n-1}(x)+f_{n-2}(x)$, where $f_0(x) = 0$ and $f_1(x)= 1$. We generalize these polynomials to an arbitrary number of variables with the $r$-Fibonacci polynomial. We extend…
Let $S$ be a domain and $R=S[t;\sigma,\delta]$ a skew polynomial ring, where $\sigma$ is an injective endomorphism of $S$ and $\delta$ a left $\sigma$ -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials $f\in R$ of degree less or equal to…
Given two polynomials $P(\underline x)$, $Q(\underline x)$ in one or more variables and with integer coefficients, how does the property that they are coprime relate to their values $P(\underline n), Q(\underline n)$ at integer points…
For integers $a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_n$ with $|a_0a_n|=1$ and either $\alpha =u$ with $1\leq u \leq 50$ or $\alpha=u+ \frac{1}{2}$ with $1 \leq u \leq 45$, we prove that $\psi_n^{(\alpha)}(x;a_0,a_1,\cdots,a_n)$ is irreducible except for an…
We investigate non-unique factorization of polynomials in Z_{p^n}[x] into irreducibles. As a Noetherian ring whose zero-divisors are contained in the Jacobson radical, Z_{p^n}[x] is atomic. We reduce the question of factoring arbitrary…
Let $F:\Cn \to \Cn$ be a polynomial mapping in Yagzhev's form,i.e. $$F(x_1,\ld,x_n)=(x_1+H_1(x_1,\ld,x_n),\ld,x_n+H_n(x_1,\ld,x_n)),$$ where $H_i$ are homogenous polynomials of degree 3. In this paper we show that if $\Jac(F) \in…
We prove a function field analogue of a conjecture of Schinzel on the factorization of univariate polynomials over the rationals. We derive from it a finiteness theorem for the irreducible factorizations of the bivariate Laurent polynomials…
Given an odd integer polynomial f(x) of a degree k >=3, we construct a non-negative valued, normed trigonometric polynomial with the spectrum in the set of integer values of f(x) not greater than n, and a small free coefficient…
An integer point in a polyhedron is called irreducible iff it is not the midpoint of two other integer points in the polyhedron. We prove that the number of irreducible integer points in $n$-dimensional polytope with radius $k$ given by a…
Let a_n(k) be the kth coefficient of the nth cyclotomic polynomial Phi_n(x). As n ranges over the integers, a_n(k) assumes only finitely many values. For any such value v we determine the density of integers n such that a_n(k)=v. Also we…
In this paper we present and analyse a construction of irreducible polynomials over odd prime fields via the transforms which take any polynomial $f \in \mathbf{F}_p[x]$ of positive degree $n$ to $\left(\frac{x}{k} \right)^n \cdot…
We present a structure theorem for the multiple non-cyclotomic irreducible factors appearing in the family of all univariate polynomials with a given set of coefficients and varying exponents. Roughly speaking, this result shows that the…
Let $P_1,...,P_n$ be generic homogeneous polynomials in $n$ variables of degrees $d_1,...,d_n$ respectively. We prove that if $\nu$ is an integer satisfying ${\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}-n+1-\min\{d_i\}<\nu,$ then all multivariate subresultants…
We study the polynomials $x^n + (1-x)^n + a^n, a \in\mathbb{Q}$, whose rational roots would yield counterexamples to Fermat's Last Theorem. We investigate their factorization over $\mathbb{Q}$. In the case $a \notin \{0, \pm 1\}$, we ask…
Let $R(x)=g(x)/h(x)$ be a rational expression of degree three over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We count the irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$, of a given degree, which have the form $h(x)^{\mathrm{deg}\, f}\cdot…
Building upon the work of A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017), we prove that for a prime power $q \geq 7$, every residue class modulo an irreducible polynomial $F \in \mathbb{F}_q[X]$ has a non-constant, square-free representative which has…
Let (K, v) be a henselian valued field of arbitrary rank. In this paper, we give an irreducibility criterion for multivariate polynomials over K using valuation theory.
