Re: JSH: Blocking and ring of algebraic integers

Note then as I now give the correct form that

P(x) = (g_1(x) + 2)*(g_2(x) + 1)

cannot exist in the ring of algebraic integers when P(x) is a
polynomial with integer coefficients, g_1(0) = g_2(0) = 0, and the g's
are not rational with rational x.

Be careful here. Your last two conditions are contradictory, since
if g_i(0) = 0, then g_i(x) will be rational for x = 0.
