Abstract
Given a quintic number field , we study the set of irreducible trinomials, polynomials of the form , that have a root in . We show that there is a genus four curve whose rational points are in bijection with such trinomials. This curve maps to an elliptic curve defined over a number field, and using this map, we are able (in some cases) to determine all the rational points on using elliptic curve Chabauty.
