The full odd-degree norm polynomial gives an absolutely irreducible double-cover equation. No squarefree-part substitution is made.

For a polynomial p of odd degree over a field F, the double-cover polynomial Y ^ 2 - p is irreducible in F[X][Y].

For a polynomial p of degree at least 2, the double-cover polynomial Y ^ 2 - p has total degree deg p.

For [K : ℚ] ≥ 2 and ε ≠ 0, the signed norm-curve polynomial y ^ 2 - ε * N(x - β) has total degree [K : ℚ].
