On monogenity of certain number fields defined by \(x^8+ax+b\) (Q2151123)

Extending a serious of results on the monogenity of trinomials and monogenity of number fields generated by a root of a trinomial, the author considers trinomials of degree eight. Various conditions are given for the non-monogenity of trinomials and the corresponding number fields.\par Among other the author proves: Let \(F(x)=x^8+p^rax+p^kb\in\mathbb{Z}[x]\) with discriminant \(D\) and let \(r\ge k\ge 3\), \(p\not\vert ab\), \(k\) odd. Denote by \(D_p\) the \(p\)-free part of \(D\) and assume that \(D_p\) is square-free modulo \(p\).\par Let \(K\) be a number field generated by a root of \(F(x)\). Then \(K\) is monogenic, but a root of \(F(x)\) does not generate a power integral basis in \(K\).
