Apollonius circles and the number of irreducible factors of polynomials

We provide upper bounds for the sum of the multiplicities of the non-constant irreducible factors that appear in the canonical decomposition of a polynomial $f(X)\in\mathbb{Z}[X]$, in case all the roots of $f$ lie inside an Apollonius circle associated to two points on the real axis with integer abscissae $a$ and $b$, with ratio of the distances to these points depending on the admissible divisors of $f(a)$ and $f(b)$. In particular, we obtain such upper bounds for the case where $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ have few prime factors, and $f$ is an Eneström-Kakeya polynomial, or a Littlewood polynomial, or has a large leading coefficient. Similar results are also obtained for multivariate polynomials over arbitrary fields, in a non-Archimedean setting.

Apollonius circles and irreducibility criteria for polynomials

We prove the irreducibility of integer polynomials $f(X)$ whose roots lie inside an Apollonius circle associated to two points on the real axis with integer abscisae $a$ and $b$, with ratio of the distances to these points depending on the canonical decomposition of $f(a)$ and $f(b)$. In particular, we obtain irreducibility criteria for the case where $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ have few prime factors, and $f$ is either an Eneström-Kakeya polynomial, or has a large leading coefficient. Analogous results are also provided for multivariate polynomials over arbitrary fields, in a non-Archimedean setting.
