Abstract

An analogue of the irreducibility is developed for linear differential operators, or, more generally, noncommutative polynomials, and is applied to a few simple examples. Introduction. The question of the irreducibility of an ordinary linear differential operator is of interest in the Picard-Vessiot theory (see Kolchin [1, ?22]). Indeed, the operator is irreducible if and only if the Galois group is linearly irreducible. In this note we develop an Eisenstein criterion to help answer this question. Because a linear differential operator is a special type of noncommutative polynomial, it is more natural to phrase the result in this more general context. The result, and indeed the proof with only slight changes in notation, is valid for partial differential operators, or more generally, noncommutative polynomials in several variables. Because the hypothesis that the ring be principal is unnatural in this setting, and because the reader may make the necessary changes if he so desires, we confine our attention to the ordinary case. 1. The irreducibility criterion. By a differential ring M we shall mean a ring (associative, commutative, with unit) together with two commuting operators a and 3 such that a is an automorphism of R, 3 is additive, and 6(ab)=aa3b+6a.b for every a, b in S. 1[6] will denote the noncommutative ring of differential operators with coefficients in R, so that 1[6] is the set of 0 ai6i, with ai E $, n E N, and right multiplication is defined by 6 * a-=oa * + 3a. Evidently if or=id, then W is an ordinary differential ring with derivation operator 6. By a differential ideal of R we mean an ideal which is closed under the two operators a and 6. The smallest differential ideal which contains the set Ec$S is denoted by [2]. Received by the editors October 7, 1971. AMS 1970 subject classifications.
