Abstract

A monic polynomial f(x)Z[x]f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x] of degree NN is called monogenic if f(x)f(x) is irreducible over Q{\mathbb Q} and {1,θ,θ2,,θN1}\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\} is a basis for the ring of integers of Q(θ){\mathbb Q}(\theta), where f(θ)=0f(\theta)=0. In this brief note, we prove that there exist exactly three distinct monogenic trinomials of the form x4+bx2+dx^4+bx^2+d whose Galois group is the cyclic group of order 4.
