Original Abstract

Let $D\in \Bbb Z$, $D > 0$ be square-free, $3\nmid D$, and $3 \nmid h(-3D)$ where $h(-3D)$ is the class number of $\Bbb Q(\sqrt(-3D))$. We prove that all cubic polynomials $f(x) = x^3+ax^2+bx+c\in \Bbb Z[x]$ with a discriminant $D$ have the same type of factorization over any Galois field $\Bbb F_p$ where $p$ is a prime, $p > 3$. Moreover, we show that any polynomial $f(x)$ with such a discriminant $D$ has a rational integer root. A complete discussion of the case $D = 0$ is also included.
