Quadratic subfields of quartic extensions of local fields.
A quasi-permutation polynomial is a polynomial which is a bijection from one subset of a finite field onto another with the same number of elements. This is a natural generalization of the familiar permutation polynomials. Basic properties of quasi-permutation polynomials are derived. General criteria for a quasi-permutation polynomial extending the well-known Hermite's criterion for permutation polynomials as well as a number of other criteria depending on the permuted domain and range are established....
Let be a Galois extension of a countable Hilbertian field . Although need not be Hilbertian, we prove that an abundance of large Galois subextensions of are.
Irreducibility over of a special symmetric form in a variables is proved for .
A necessary and sufficient condition is given for reducibility of a symmetric polynomial whose number of variables is large in comparison to degree.
We show explicit forms of the Bertini-Noether reduction theorem and of the Hilbert irreducibility theorem. Our approach recasts in a polynomial context the geometric Grothendieck good reduction criterion and the congruence approach to HIT for covers of the line. A notion of “bad primes” of a polynomial P ∈ ℚ[T,Y] irreducible over ℚ̅ is introduced, which plays a central and unifying role. For such a polynomial P, we deduce a new bound for the least integer t₀ ≥ 0 such that P(t₀,Y) is irreducible...
