Irreducibility and embedding problems

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study irreducible specializations, in particular when group-preserving specializations may not exist. We obtain a criterion in terms of embedding problems. We include several applications to analogs of Schinzel's hypothesis H and to the theory of Hilbertian fields.
