Abstract

Let MM be an imaginary quadratic field with the ring of integers ZM\mathbb{Z}_{M} and let ξ\xi be a root of polynomial f(x)=x42cx3+2x2+2cx+1,f\left( x\right) =x^{4}-2cx^{3}+2x^{2}+2cx+1, where cZM,c\in\mathbb{Z}_{M}, c{0,±2}c\notin\left\{ 0,\pm2\right\}. We consider an infinite family of octic fields Kc=M(ξ)K_{c}=M\left( \xi\right) with the ring of integers ZKc.\mathbb{Z}_{K_{c}}. Our goal is to determine all generators of relative power integral basis of O=ZM[ξ]\mathcal{O=}\mathbb{Z}_{M}\left[ \xi\right] over ZM.\mathbb{Z}_{M}. We show that our problem reduces to solving the system of relative Pellian equations cV2(c+2)U2=2μ,  cZ2(c2)U2=2μ, cV^{2}-\left( c+2\right) U^{2}=-2\mu,\ \ cZ^{2}-\left( c-2\right) U^{2}=2\mu, where μ\mu is an unit in ZM\mathbb{Z}_{M}. We solve the system completely and find that all non-equivalent generators of power integral basis of O\mathcal{O} over ZM\mathbb{Z}_{M} are given by α=ξ,\alpha=\xi, 2ξ2cξ2+ξ32\xi-2c\xi ^{2}+\xi^{3} for c159108\left\vert c\right\vert \geq159108 and c200|c|\leq200.
