Abstract

Let K=Q(θ)K=\mathbb Q(\theta) be an algebraic number field with θ\theta a root of an irreducible trinomial f(x)=x6+ax+bf(x)=x^6+ax+b belonging to Z[x]\mathbb{Z}[x]. In this paper, for each prime number pp we compute the highest power of pp dividing the discriminant of KK in terms of the prime powers dividing a, ba,~b and discriminant of f(x)f(x). An explicit pp-integral basis of KK is also given for each prime pp and a method is described to obtain an integral basis of KK from these pp-integral bases which is illustrated with examples.
