Divisors of polynomials in $\mathbb{Z}_p$ for $p$ prime

125 Views Asked by At

Let $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ be a non-constant polynomial where $p$ is a prime that is not a divisor of the leading coefficient of $f$.

Assume that $f = g_{1}g_{2},\ldots, g_{k}$ is a factorization of $f$ into a product of irreducible polynomials over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (i.e., all $g_i \in Z_p[x]$ and $f$ is viewed as a polynomial over $\mathbb{Z}_p$) and let $h$ be any divisor of $f$ over $\mathbb{Z}$.

I need to prove that some $g_i$ is a divisor of $h$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$.


This is my attempt so far:

If $h$ is a divisor of $f$ over $\mathbb{Z}$, then $\exists k \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ such that $f = h \cdot k$.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that $f$ can be considered the same polynomial over both $\mathbb{Z}$ and $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ here, unless when we say that "$h$ is a divisor of $f$ over $\mathbb{Z}$", we mean that it is the divisor of the image of $f$ (call it $\tilde{f}$) under a map that takes $f$ from $\mathbb{Z}_p \to \mathbb{Z}$, which we know is not a function. In this case, then we have that $\exists k \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ such that $\tilde{f}= h \cdot k$.

Then, reducing $\tilde{f} \mod p$ we obtain that $f = \overline{h} \cdot \overline{k}$, where $\overline{h}$ is $\,h\mod p\,$ and $\overline{k}$ is $k$ reduced modulo $p$.

Now, we know that $f = \overline{h} \cdot \overline{k} = g_1 g_2 \cdots g_k$. But, all this tells me is that some $g_i$ is a divisor of the product of $h$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and $k$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$.


At this point, I get completely stuck.

It's entirely possible that this is not the correct way to approach this problem. If someone could help me figure out the right way to do this, I would be most appreciative!

Thank you for your time and petience!

I'm not sure if you are talking about cyclotomic fields. Those are obtained by joining a primitive $n$th root of unity to $Q$ the field of rational numbers. The $n$th cyclotomic field is referred to as $Q_n$. It is referred to $Z_n$ in your question. The answer is simple, all polynomials $P(x)$ that define the same field as $Q_x$, prime (powers) $p^k$ dividing $P(x)$ must have the form $1$ $\pmod n$. I don't know if this was what you were looking for.
