ON the index divisors of certain number fields

Abstract: Let

K = Q (h e t a)

be an algebraic number field with

h e t a

a root of an irreducible quadrinomial

with

m i n 2, 3, 4, 5

. In the present paper, we give some explicit conditions involving only

a, b, c

and

m

for which

K

is non-monogenic. In each case, we provide the highest power of a rational prime

p

dividing index of the field

K

. In particular, we provide a partial answer to the Problem

22

of Narkiewicz cite{Nar} for these number fields. Finally, we illustrate our results through examples.
