On the irreducibility of a polynomial and Gauss lemma












0












$begingroup$


Let $P (X) = X^5 − 6X + 3$.



Prove that it is irreducible over $mathbb{Q}$.



In the solution I have for this exercice, I have litterally:



P is irreducible over $mathbb{F}_5$, therefore, by Gauss Lemma, it is irreducible over $mathbb{Q}$.



I am lacking the necessary knowledge about irreducibility by reducing modulo p. All I know is that there is a bijection between roots of P in $overline{mathbb{Q}}$ and the roots of $overline{P}$ in $overline{mathbb{F}_p}$.



I also know this generalization of Gauss Lemma: in a factorial ring A, with its fraction field K, a primitive $P$ is irreducible in $A[X] Leftrightarrow $ $P$ is irreducible in K[X].



How does this apply to P above?



Thank you for any directions or help.

    Because $P$ is irreducible over $mathbb{Z}_5 Rightarrow P$ is irreducible over $mathbb{Z}$. And then $P$ is irreducible over $mathbb{Q}$ by Gauss's Lemma.

    PerelMan, I try and describe the use of modular reduction in irreducibility proofs here. Also observe that Eisenstein's criterion with $p=3$ works here as well (and is the go-to technique for many).

$begingroup$

There is a general result: Let $R$ be a ring and $I$ be a proper ideal. Fix a nonconstant monic polynomial $p(x) in R[x]$. If $overline{p(x)} in (R/I)[x]$ is irreducible, then $p(x)$ is irreducible in $R[x]$.



You can prove this by considering the contrapositive.
