Nonmonogenity of number fields defined by truncated exponential polynomials

From MaRDI portal





For a given prime \(p\), \(2\le n=p^{m_1}+\ldots +p^{m_r}\), with \(0\le m_1\leq\ldots\leq m_r\), and \(a_1,a_1,\ldots,a_{n-1}\in\mathbb Z\), not divisible by \(p\), the author considers irreducible polynomials of type \[ f(x)=x^n+n!\cdot \sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\frac{a_ix^î}{i!}. \] The main statement of the paper is that \(p\) divides the common index divisor of the number field \(K\) generated by a root of \(f(x)\), if and only if \(r>p\). In case \(r>p\) this implies that \(K\) is not monogenic, that is \(K\) has no power integral bases. After considering monogenity of several types of binomials, trinomials, etc., in the literature, this result opens a completely new direction in the theory of monogenity, which will certainly have several applications. The proof is based on Newton polygon method.
