Integral and homothetic indecomposability with applications to irreducibility of polynomials

Abstract

Being motivated by some methods for construction of homothetically indecomposable polytopes; we obtain new methods for construction of families of integrally indecomposable polytopes. As a result, we find new infinite families of absolutely irreducible multivariate polynomials over any field F. Moreover, we provide different proofs of some of the main results of Gao [2].
