Let p denote a prime and n a positive integer. Write q = pn and let kq denote the Galois field with q elements. The unique factorization domain of polynomials in m(≤ 2) indeterminâtes x1,…, xq with coefficients in k is denoted by kq [x,…, xm. It is the purpose of this note to prove the foliowing generalization of Eisenstein's irreducibility criteria and to point out some of its consequences.
