[#R611] The stated polynomial gives a primitive degree-61 field model
claim. Rabin's irreducibility criterion and a Lucas-Lehmer certificate show that a root has order 2^61-1.
1Summary
Write \[ f=x^{61}+x^{45}+x^{32}+x^2+1. \] The exact replay computes \(x^{2^{61}}\bmod f=x\) and \[ \gcd(x^2+x,f)=1. \] Since 61 is prime, these are the two conditions in the finite-field irreducibility criterion for a degree-61 polynomial over \(\mathbf F_2\). Hence \(f\) is irreducible.
The same replay applies the Lucas-Lehmer test to \[ M=2^{61}-1=2305843009213693951 \] and obtains final residue zero, certifying that \(M\) is prime. A root \(\alpha\) of \(f\) is nonzero, and \(f(1)=1\), so \(\alpha\neq1\). Its multiplicative order divides the prime \(M\) and exceeds one. Therefore \(\alpha\) has order \(M\), and \(f\) is primitive.
Reproduced evidence. Recorded scope: the polynomial x^61+x^45+x^32+x^2+1 over F_2 and its degree-61 quotient field.
