On quadratic integral polynomials with only finitely many roots in any commutative finite-dimensional algebra
The author determines the monic quadratic polynomials \(f\in\mathbb Z[X]\) such that \(f\) has only finitely many roots in every associative, commutative, finite-dimensional algebra over a field. They are precisely the polynomials of the form \(f=X^2+(2m+1)X+m^2+m\), where \(m\in\mathbb Z\). In contrast to this, the author had shown [in Result. Math. 36, No. 3--4, 252--259 (1999; Zbl 1013.13006)] that for any nonzero cardinal number \(\aleph\), any polynomial of degree at least \(2\) over a field \(K\) has at least \(\aleph\) roots in some associative, commutative \(K\)-algebra.
