On the Galois group of the generalized Fibonacci polynomial.
If is a polynomial with coefficients in the field of complex numbers, of positive degree , then has at least one root a with the following property: if , where is the multiplicity of , then (such a root is said to be a "free" root of ). This is a consequence of the so-called Gauss-Lucas'lemma. One could conjecture that this property remains true for polynomials (of degree ) with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic (Sudbery's Conjecture). In this paper it is shown that,...
We consider function field analogues of the conjecture of Győry, Sárközy and Stewart (1996) on the greatest prime divisor of the product for distinct positive integers , and . In particular, we show that, under some natural conditions on rational functions , the number of distinct zeros and poles of the shifted products and grows linearly with if . We also obtain a version of this result for rational functions over a finite field.
If f(x) and g(x) are relatively prime polynomials in ℤ[x] satisfying certain conditions arising from a theorem of Capelli and if n is an integer > N for some sufficiently large N, then the non-reciprocal part of f(x)xⁿ + g(x) is either identically ±1 or is irreducible over the rationals. This result follows from work of Schinzel in 1965. We show here that under the conditions that f(x) and g(x) are relatively prime 0,1-polynomials (so each coefficient is either 0 or 1) and f(0) = g(0) = 1, one...
We explicitly provide numbers , such that each irreducible factor of a polynomial with integer coefficients has a degree greater than or equal to and can have at most irreducible factors over the field of rational numbers. Moreover, we prove our result in a more general setup for polynomials with coefficients from the valuation ring of an arbitrary valued field.
Elliptic curves with CM unveil a new phenomenon in the theory of large algebraic fields. Rather than drawing a line between and or and they give an example where the line goes beween and and another one where the line goes between and .
Let Fq denote the finite field of q elements. O. Ahmadi and A. Menezes have recently considered the question about the possible number of elements with zero trace in polynomial bases of F2n over F2. Here we show that the Weil bound implies that there is such a basis with n + O(log n) zero-trace elements.
