Abstract

A monic polynomial f(x)Z[x]f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x] of degree nn that is irreducible over Q{\mathbb Q} is called cyclic if the Galois group over Q{\mathbb Q} of f(x)f(x) is the cyclic group of order nn, while f(x)f(x) is called monogenic if {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 article, we show that there do not exist any monogenic cyclic trinomials of the form f(x)=x4+cx+df(x)=x^4+cx+d. This result, combined with previous work, proves that the only monogenic cyclic quartic trinomials are x44x2+2x^4-4x^2+2, x4+4x2+2x^4+4x^2+2 and x45x2+5x^4-5x^2+5.
