Abstract

Let K=\Q(θ)K=\Q(\theta) be a number field generated by a complex root th\th of a monic irreducible trinomial F(x)=xn+ax+bZ[x]F(x) = x^n+ax+b \in \Z[x]. There is an extensive literature of monogenity of number fields defined by trinomials, Ga\'al studied the multi-monogenity of sextic number fields defined by trinomials. Jhorar and Khanduja studied the integral closedness of Z[th]\Z[\th]. But if Z[th] \Z[\th] is not integrally closed, then Jhorar and Khanduja's results cannot answer on the monogenity of KK. In this paper, based on Newton polygon techniques, we deal with the problem of monogenity of KK. More precisely, when ZKZ[th]\Z_K \neq \Z[\th], we give sufficient conditions on nn, aa and bb for KK to be not monogenic. For n{5,6,3r,2k3r,2s3k+1}n\in \{5, 6, 3^r, 2^k\cdot 3^r, 2^s\cdot 3^k+1\}, we give explicitly some infinite families of these number fields that are not monogenic. Finally, we illustrate our results by some computational examples.
