irreducible - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

According to Maschke’s theorem, every group representation of a finite group over a field with characteristic zero is the direct sum of representations with this property. For 10 points each:

[10h] Name this adjective. Gauss’s lemma states that any polynomial with a property over the rational numbers will have this property over the integers.

ANSWER: irreducible [or word forms; accept not reducible or equivalents; reject “reducible”]

[10m] Gauss’s lemma applies to a unique factorization domain, which is an example of one of these structures. These algebraic structures generalize fields and are closed under their addition and multiplication operations.

ANSWER: rings

[10e] A different result also named Gauss’s lemma provides conditions for an integer to be a residue known by this adjective. This adjective denotes polynomials of degree 2, like “a x-squared plus b x plus c.”

ANSWER: quadratic [accept quadratic residues or quadratic polynomial or quadratic equation or quadratic form]
