Key Points

  • The research aims to compute the discriminant of a specific polynomial and determine conditions under which it is monogenic.
  • Analyze the polynomial $f(x) = (x^{2}+1)^{n} - ax^{n}$ for irreducibility.
  • Compute the discriminant of $f(x)$ and derive conditions for monogenicity based on parameters a and n.
  • Describe the primes that divide the index of $f$.
  • The discriminant of the polynomial $f(x)$ was computed.
  • Necessary and sufficient conditions for $f$ to be monogenic were established based on a and n.
  • A complete characterization of the primes dividing the index of $f$ was provided.

Abstract

Abstract Let f (x) = (x^2+1) ^n - ax^n Zx and assume f (x) is irreducible. Let be a root of f (x), set K= Q () and denote by Z₊ the ring of integers of K. The index of f, denoted ind (f), is the index of Z in Z₊. A polynomial f (x) is said to be monogenic if ind (f) = 1. We compute the discriminant of the polynomial f (x), and then derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters a and n for f (x) to be monogenic. Furthermore, we provide a complete description of the primes that divide ind (f).
