Abstract We consider the question: over an integral domain, is the content ideal of a nonzero Gaussian polynomial an invertible ideal? In this thesis, we discuss two different approaches to study this question. First, we discuss this question over approximately Gorenstein rings. We show that over a Noetherian domain, the content ideal of a Gaussian polynomial is invertible. Next, We make use of Hilbert polynomials to discuss this question. We show that over an integrally closed Noetherian local domain, a Gaussian polynomial has an invertible content ideal.
