Apologies in advance if this turns out to be simple. So far I haven't found a proof or a reference. Although I like $p$ to be a prime, I can ask the following for positive integers $n$ and $p$, ...

Kronecker's paper Zwei Sätze über Gleichungen mit ganzzahligen Coefficienten apparently proves the following result that I'd like to reference: Let $f$ be a monic polynomial with integer ...

Is it true that for every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $x^{n}-x-1$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$? The standard irreducibility criteria seem to fail.

Consider the finite sums $$F_n(q)=\sum_{k=1}^nq^{\binom{k}2}$$ with exponents the triangular numbers $\binom{k}2$. When $n$ is odd, it appears that $F_n(q)$ does not factorize over $\mathbb{Z}[q]$. On ...

Define the congruence "modulo m" on exponential Taylor series as $$ \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{a_n}{n!}x^n \equiv \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{b_n}{n!} x^n \mod m \iff \forall n: \frac{a_n-b_n}{m}\in \mathbb{...

I stumbled upon entry OEIS-A208535 on the enumeration of certain kinds of colored necklaces and noticed that the integers for the odd prime rows of the table there seem to be given by the Moreau ...
