Abstract

Let f(x)=x6+Ax3+BZ[x]f(x)=x^6+Ax^3+B\in {\mathbb Z}[x], with A0A\ne 0, and suppose that f(x)f(x) is irreducible over Q{\mathbb Q}. We define f(x)f(x) to be {\em monogenic} if {1,θ,θ2,θ3,θ4,θ5}\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\theta^3,\theta^4,\theta^{5}\} is a basis for the ring of integers of Q(θ){\mathbb Q}(\theta), where f(θ)=0f(\theta)=0. For each possible Galois group GG of f(x)f(x) over Q{\mathbb Q}, we use a theorem of Jakhar, Khanduja and Sangwan to give explicit descriptions of all monogenic trinomials f(x)f(x) having Galois group GG. We also investigate when these trinomials generate distinct sextic fields.
