For a certain semi-direct product, we construct a 3-cover, consisting of three subgroups, the union of whose conjugates equals the whole group, while the intersection of the conjugates is trivial. This enables a classification of a new family of intersective polynomials. These polynomials have no rational root but do have a root modulo every positive integer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
