"Irreducibility of random polynomials" (Gady KOZMA, Weizmann Institute of Science)

02.11.2023 16:15

Take a polynomial of degree n with coefficients +/-1 taken randomly, independently. What is the probability that it is irreducible over the rationals? This question is still open, but a lot of progress happened around it in recent years. We will survey some of this progress, including joint work with Lior Bary-Soroker, Dimitris Koukoulopoulos and David Hokken.
In the final part of the talk I will try to draw the different strands together, and explain how these topics all share a common underlying pattern.

The Colloquium will by followed by an aperitif
