Abstract

Let ZK\mathbb{Z}_K denote the ring of integers of the number field K=Q(θ)K = \mathbb{Q}(\theta), where θ\theta is a root of the monic irreducible polynomial f(x)Z[x]f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]. We say that f(x)f(x) is monogenic if ZK=Z[θ]\mathbb{Z}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\theta]. A polynomial f(x)Z[x]f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x] is called reciprocal if f(x)=xdeg(f)f(1/x)f(x) = x^{\operatorname{deg}(f)} f(1/x). In this article, we derive sufficient conditions for the monogeneity of even degree reciprocal polynomials. By employing properties of the discriminant of reciprocal polynomials, we partially prove a conjecture proposed by Jones in 20212021. Furthermore, we establish a lower bound on the number of certain sextic monogenic reciprocal polynomials.
