A short note on number fields defined by exponential Taylor polynomials

Abstract: Let

n

be a positive integer and

f_{n} (x) = 1 + x + f r a c x^{2} 2! + c d o t s + f r a c x^{n} n!

denote the

n

-th Taylor polynomial of the exponential function. Let

K = m a t h b f Q (h e t a)

be an algebraic number field where

h e t a

is a root of

f_{n} (x)

and

m a t h b f Z_{K}

denote the ring of algebraic integers of

K

. In this paper, we prove that for any prime

p

,

p

does not divide the index of the subgroup

m a t h b f Z [h e t a]

in

m a t h b f Z_{K}

if and only if

p^{2} m i d n!

.
