Explicit Hilbert's Irreducibility Theorem in Function Fields

Publication date 11 December 2019

Abstract: We prove a quantitative version of Hilbert's irreducibility theorem for function fields: If

f (T_{1}, l d o t s, T_{n}, X)

is an irreducible polynomial over the field of rational functions over a finite field

m a t h b b F_{q}

of characteristic

p

, then the proportion of

n

-tuples

(t_{1}, l d o t s, t_{n})

of monic polynomials of degree

d

for which

f (t_{1}, l d o t s, t_{n}, X)

is reducible out of all

n

-tuples of degree

d

monic polynomials is

O (d q^{- d / 2})

.
