Abstract

Some generalizations of the classical Eisenstein and Schönemann Irreducibility Criteria and their applications are described. In particular some extensions of the Ehrenfeucht–Tverberg irreducibility theorem which states that a difference polynomial f(x) – g(y) in two variables is irreducible over a field K provided the degrees of f and g are coprime, are also given. The discussion of irreducibility of polynomials has a long history. The most famous irreducibility criterion for polynomials with coefficients in the ring Z of integers proved by Eisenstein [9] in 1850 states as follows: Eisenstein Irreducibility Criterion. Let F(x) = a0xn + a1xn-1 + ...+ an be a polynomial with coefficient in the ring Z of integers. Suppose that there exists a prime number p such that a 0 is not divisible by p, a i is divisible by p for 1 ≤i ≤n, and a n is not divisible by p 2 , then F(x) is irreducible over the field Q of rational numbers.
