Irreducible bivariate complex polynomial whose zero-locus contains two given points

58 Views Asked by At

Let $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbf{C}^2$ be distinct pairs of complex numbers. Is there an irreducible polynomial $f\in\mathbf{C}[x,y]$ vanishing at $\alpha$ and $\beta$?

Yes, of course. For instance, $f(x,y)=(\beta_1-\alpha_1)(y-\alpha_2)-(\beta_2-\alpha_2)(x-\alpha_1)$
