Abstract

For a cubic number field LL, we consider the Z\mathbb{Z}-order in LL of the form Z[α]\mathbb{Z}[\alpha], where α\alpha is a root of a polynomial of the form x3ax+bx^3-ax+b and a,bZa,b\in\mathbb{Z} are integers such that vp(a)2v_p(a)\leq 2 or vp(b)3v_p(b)\leq 3 for all prime numbers pp. We characterize the freeness of Z[α]\mathbb{Z}[\alpha] as a module over its associated order in the unique Hopf-Galois structure HH on LL in terms of the solvability of at least one between two generalized Pell equations in terms of aa and bb. We determine when the equality OL=Z[α]\mathcal{O}_L=\mathbb{Z}[\alpha] is satisfied in terms of congruence conditions for aa and bb. For such cases, we specialize our result so as to obtain criteria for the freeness of OL\mathcal{O}_L as a module over its associated order in HH.
