Abstract:
We prove a strong form of the `` Squares Problem'' over polynomial rings with characteristic zero constant field. In particular we prove : for all there exists an integer depending only on such that, if are distinct elements of and we have polynomials , with some non-constant, satisfiying the equations for each , then is the zero polynomial.
