Abstract

We obtain new results about the number of trinomials t n + at + b with integer coefficients in a box (a, b) ∈ [C,C + A] × [D,D + B] that are irreducible modulo a prime p. As a by-product we show that for any p there are irreducible polynomials of height at most p 1/2+o(1), improving on the previous estimate of p 2/3+o(1) obtained by the author in 1989.
