I want to prove this claim below as an exercise for exam:




Let $F(x) in GF(p)[x]$ a prime polynomial deg $n>0$, if
$gcd(F,x^{q^i}-x)=1$ for $i=1,2,...,[n/2]$ $iff$ $F$ is irreducible




Here a trace of my proof:



Suppose $F$ reducible.



Then $F(x)=G(x)H(x)$ product of at least two irreducible polynomial, and since $deg F=n Rightarrow degf geq degG times degH$. Suppose then $degG=degH=[n/2]$.



We know that for $q=p^k Rightarrow x^{q^i}-x=$ {product of all irreducible polynomial of $GF(q)$}. But from the product of thos polynomial, must emerge a polynomial with degree at least $[n/2]$, so $gcd(F,x^{q^i}-x) not =1$.
So in order to have $gcd(F,x^{q^i}-x) =1$, $F$ must be irreducible.



I have difficulties in translating my ideas in mathematical format so thanks for any kind of hints or corrections, thanks.

  • Over a field, prime polynomial and irreducible polynomial are the same, polynomials that cannot be factored into polynomials of lower degree

  • You can assume that one of the polynomials $G, H$ has degree $leq n/2$.
