Eisenstein polynomials

Given an ideal 𝓟 of a commutative semiring R, we say that a polynomial f : R[X] is Eisenstein at 𝓟 if f.leadingCoeff ∉ 𝓟, ∀ n, n < f.natDegree → f.coeff n ∈ 𝓟 and f.coeff 0 ∉ 𝓟 ^ 2. In this file we gather miscellaneous results about Eisenstein polynomials.

Main definitions

• Polynomial.IsEisensteinAt f 𝓟: the property of being Eisenstein at 𝓟.

Main results

• Polynomial.IsEisensteinAt.irreducible: if a primitive f satisfies f.IsEisensteinAt 𝓟, where 𝓟.IsPrime, then f is irreducible.

Implementation details

We also define a notion IsWeaklyEisensteinAt requiring only that ∀ n < f.natDegree → f.coeff n ∈ 𝓟. This makes certain results slightly more general and it is useful since it is sometimes better behaved (for example it is stable under Polynomial.map).

Given an ideal 𝓟 of a commutative semiring R, we say that a polynomial f : R[X] is weakly Eisenstein at 𝓟 if ∀ n, n < f.natDegree → f.coeff n ∈ 𝓟.
