Abstract

In 2012, for any integer n2n \ge 2, Kedlaya constructed an infinite class of monic irreducible polynomials of degree nn with integer coefficients having squarefree discriminants. Such polynomials are necessarily monogenic. Further, by extending Kedlaya's approach, for any odd prime qq, Jones constructed a class of degree qq polynomials with non-squarefree discriminants. In this article, using a similar method provided by Jones, we present another infinite class of monogenic polynomials of degree qq with non-squarefree discriminants, where qq is a prime of the form q=q0+q11 q = q_0 + q_1 - 1 , with q0 q_0 and q1 q_1 being prime numbers. In addition to this we present a class of non-monogenic polynomials whose coefficients are Sterling numbers of the first kind.
