Topic:
The talk began as an attempt to answer the following question - if f(x)
is an irreducible polynomial with integer coefficients, does it remain
irreducible modulo p for infinitely many primes p? It turns out that
the answer is sometimes yes and sometimes no. One can give the answer
satisfactorily and even give the Dirichlet density of the set of p for
which the reduction is irreducible.
