Density of Special Classes of Polynomials with Squarefree Discriminant

In this talk, we compute the density of monic polynomials of fixed degree over Z_p, which has squarefree discriminant, provided some restriction on the coefficients of the polynomial. This is a natural extension to a previous result by Yamamura, who solved the case where the coefficients have no restrictions at all.
