Generalized Wall-Sun-Sun primes and monogenic power compositional trinomials
Abstract
For positive integers and , we let be the Lucas sequence of the first kind defined by U_0=0,\quad U_1=1\quad \mbox{and} \quad U_n=aU_{n-1}+bU_{n-2} \quad \mbox{ for $n\ge 2$}, and let be the period length of modulo the integer , where . We define an \emph{-Wall-Sun-Sun prime} to be a prime such that . When , such a prime is referred to simply as a \emph{Wall-Sun-Sun prime}. We say that a monic polynomial of degree is \emph{monogenic} if is irreducible over and is a basis for the ring of integers of , where . Let , and let be a positive integer. Then, with certain restrictions on , and , we prove that the monogenicity of is independent of the positive integer and is determined solely by whether has a prime divisor that is an -Wall-Sun-Sun prime. This result improves and extends previous work of the author in the special case .
