On the Distribution of Irreducible Trinomials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
We obtain new results about the number of trinomials ${{t}^{n}}\,+\,at\,+\,b$ with integer coefficients in a box
$(a,\,b)\,\in \,[C,\,C\,+\,A]\,\times \,[D,\,D\,+\,B]$ that are irreducible modulo a prime
$p$. As a by-product we show that for any
$p$ there are irreducible polynomials of height at most
${{p}^{1/2+o(1)}}$, improving on the previous estimate of
${{p}^{2/3+o(1)}}$ obtained by the author in 1989.
