### Irreducible monic polynomials

I am looking for criteria for the irreducibility of monic polynomials with constant term $\pm1$ over $\mathbb Q$. Eisenstein's criterion clearly doesn't apply here. For instance, for the family of ...

### K theory and derived categories

Some months ago I studied Beilinson's paper about generators for the derived category of $\mathbb{P}^n$, "Coherent Sheaves on $\mathbb{P}^n$ and problems of linear algebra". As next step, I moved to ...

### Reference for: Every local field can be realized as the completion of a global field

It is well known that every local field (i.e. nondiscrete topological field locally compact with respect to the topology) is the completion of some global field. I know the argument, a nice ...

### Is $\sum_{\rho} \frac{1}{(\rho - s)^{1 + \delta}}$ bounded as Im(s) goes to infinity?

Let $\rho$ denote the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function and $\delta > 0$. Is the function $f(s) = \sum_{\rho} \frac{1}{(\rho - s)^{1 + \delta}}$ bounded as Im(s) goes to infinity?(the real part ...

### Numbers with many prime divisors

Is there a positive $c$ such that for every $n$ there exists $m$ such that $2^m-1$ has at least $n$ distinct prime divisors and $m$ is not greater than $n^c$? I'm also interested in this question ...

### Finite dimensionality of Ext(M,N)

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$ and let $R$ be a (noncommutative) Noetherian $K$-algebra. Let $M$ and $N$ be simple left $R$-modules and assume further the following conditions on $R$: ...

### Pro-V topology on a free group

Let $W=G_p*G_q$, where $G_p$ and $G_q$ are pseudovarieties of all finite $p$-groups and all finite $q$-groups respectively, with $p$ and $q$ fixed prime numbers. The pro-$W$ topology on a group $G$ is ...

### Gcd of polynomials over a finite field [on hold]

Let $\mathbb{F}_q[X]$ be the polynomial ring over the finite field with $q$ elements. Let $f$ be a polynomial of the form $x^n-a$ and let $g$ be a polynomial of the form $x^m-b$. Is it known whether ...

### What is the smallest positive integer for which the congruent number problem is unsolved?

The congruent number problem is the problem of figuring out whether a given positive integer $N$ is the area of a right-angled triangle with all side lengths rational. According to Dickson's "History ...
