Abstract: A. Mukhopadhyay, M. R. Murty and K. Srinivas (http://arxiv.org/abs/0808.0418) have recently studied various arithmetic properties of the discriminant $Delt{a}_n(a,b)$ of the trinomial $f_{n,a,b}(t)=t^n+at+b$, where $nge5$ is a fixed integer. In particular, it is shown that, under the $abc$-conjecture, for every $nequiv1pmod4$, the quadratic fields $Q(sqrtDelt{a}_n(a,b))$ are pairwise distinct for a positive proportion of such discriminants with integers $a$ and $b$ such that $f_{n,a,b}$ is irreducible over $Q$ and $|Delt{a}_n(a,b)|leX$, as $Xoinfty$. We use the square-sieve and bounds of character sums to obtain a weaker but unconditional version of this result.
