Covering a semi-direct product and intersective polynomials

For a certain semi-direct product, we construct a 3-cover, consisting of three subgroups, the union of whose conjugates equals the whole group, while the intersection of the conjugates is trivial. This enables a classification of a new family of intersective polynomials. These polynomials have no ra...

Zusammenfassung:For a certain semi-direct product, we construct a 3-cover, consisting of three subgroups, the union of whose conjugates equals the whole group, while the intersection of the conjugates is trivial. This enables a classification of a new family of intersective polynomials. These polynomials have no rational root but do have a root modulo every positive integer.
