Consider a monic, irreducible polynomial $f(x)\in\mathbb Q[x]$ and its splitting field $F$. Let $L$ be a number field ($L$ and $F$ are contained in the complex numbers). Are the following true?
(1): If $f$ remains irreducible in $L[x]$, then $L \cap F =\mathbb Q$. False, via gobucksmath's example.
(2): If $L \cap F =\mathbb Q$, then $f$ remains irreducible in $L$. Equivalent to (3).
(3): If $f$ becomes reducible in $L[x]$, then $L \cap F$ strictly contains $\mathbb Q$. True, by Rene Schipperus's argument.
(4): If $L \cap F$ strictly contains $\mathbb Q$, then $f$ becomes reducible in $L$. False, via gobucksmath's example.
Assume (3). Let $f(x)=g(x)h(x)$ with $g(x), h(x)\in L[x]$ then the coefficients of $g(x)$ are in $L$. But they also in $F$ thus the coefficients are in $\mathbb{Q}$ and so $f(x)$ is not irreducible.
