Polynomials with integral coefficients,
equivalent to a given polynomial
János Kollár
Abstract.
Let $f(x_{0},\dots ,x_{n})$ be a homogeneous polynomial with rational
coefficients. The aim of this paper is to find a polynomial with
integral coefficients $F(x_{0},\dots ,x_{n})$ which is ``equivalent" to $f$
and as ``simple" as possible. The principal ingredient of the proof
is to connect this question with the geometric invariant theory of
polynomials. Applications to binary forms, class numbers, quadratic
forms and to families of cubic surfaces are given at the end.
