Abstract

Let f(x)=x7+ax+bf(x)=x^7+ax+b be an irreducible polynomial having integer coefficients and K=Q(θ)K=\mathbb{Q}(\theta) be an algebraic number field generated by a root θ\theta of f(x)f(x). In the present paper, for every rational prime pp, our objective is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions involving only a, ba,~b so that pp is a divisor of the index of the field KK. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions on aa and bb, for which KK is non-monogenic. In a special case, we show that if either 88 divides both a±1a\pm1, bb or 3232 divides both a+4a+4, bb, then KK is non-monogenic. We illustrate our results through examples.
