"Density of polynomials with squarefree discriminant II"

In this talk, we will discuss the squarefree sieve for discriminants of arbitrary polynomials. We will find that there are striking differences between odd and even degree polynomials, where additional techniques of counting on varieties will be required for the latter. This is joint work with Manjul Bhargava and Arul Shankar.
