Questions in which polynomials (single or several variables) play a key role. It is typically important that this tag is combined with other tags; polynomials appear in very different contexts. Please, use at least one of the top-level tags, such as nt.number-theory, co.combinatorics, ac.commutative-algebra, in addition to it. Also, note the more specific tags for some special types of polynomials, e.g., orthogonal-polynomials, symmetric-polynomials.

solutions to equation mod a prime

If you rewrite the equation as $b^2=-a^2/(a^2+1)$ as Will did you can continue as follows: The equation can be rewritten as $$\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^2 = -(a^{-2}+1)$$ (excepting $a=b=0$). Putting $x …

The irreducibility of an algebraic variety

Then in the quotient ring, the images of the variables are invertible so we may replace the polynomial ring with the ring of Laurent polynomials whose spectrum is an algebraic torus. …
