Irreducibility of generalized Hermite-Laguerre polynomials. II. (Q967564)

The generalized Hermite-Laguerre polynomials \[ G_q(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}(\alpha+(n-1)d)x^{n-1}+\dotsb +a_1[(\alpha+(n-1)d)\dotsb(\alpha+d)]x+ a_0[(\alpha+(n-1)d)\dotsb (\alpha+d)\alpha], \] where \(a_0,a_1,\dotsc,a_n\in\mathbb Z\), \(\text{gcd} (\alpha,d)=1\), and \(q=\alpha/d\) are considered. The main result is in Theorem 1: For each \(n\), the polynomials \(G_{1/4}(x)\) and \(G_{3/4}(x)\) are either irreducible or both a linear polynomial times an irreducible polynomial of degree \(n-1\).
