Second-iterate irreducibility conjecture for quadratic polynomials over the Gaussian rationals
Second-iterate irreducibility conjecture for quadratic polynomials over the Gaussian rationals
Let be the Gaussian integers and let be the field over which irreducibility and stability are considered. For , set and . The polynomial is stable over when is irreducible over for every .
Second-iterate irreducibility conjecture. If is irreducible over , then is stable over .
This is presented as the analogue of an earlier conjecture over . It asserts that irreducibility of the second iterate prevents reducibility at every later iterate, but no resolution is supplied here.
