For any quartic number field $K$ generated by a root $\alpha$ of an irreducible trinomial of type $x^4+ax^2+b\in Z[x]$, we characterize when $Z[\alpha]$ is integrally closed. Also for $p=2,3$, we explicitly give the highest power of $p$…

We determine the density of monic integer polynomials of given degree $n>1$ that have squarefree discriminant; in particular, we prove for the first time that the lower density of such polynomials is positive. Similarly, we prove that the…

Let $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ be a monic polynomial of degree $N$ that is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$. We say $f(x)$ is \emph{monogenic} if $\Theta=\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers ${\mathbb…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$, and let $f(x)\in\mathcal{O}_K[x]$ be a monic, irreducible polynomial. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the critical points of $f(x)$ for the…

We give an infinite family of polynomials that have roots modulo every positive integer but fail to have rational roots. Each polynomial in this family is made up of monic quadratic factors that do not have linear term.

Let $a$ be an integer and $p$ a prime so that $f(x)=x^p-a$ is irreducible. Write $f^n(x)$ to indicate the $n$-fold composition of $f(x)$ with itself. We study the monogenicity of number fields defined by roots of $f^n(x)$ and give necessary…

In this paper, we deal with the problem of monogenity of number fields defined by monic irreducible trinomials $F(x)=x^{12}+ax^m+b\in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with $1\leq m\leq11$. We give sufficient conditions on $a$, $b$, and $m$ so that the number…

In 2012, for any integer $n \ge 2$, Kedlaya constructed an infinite class of monic irreducible polynomials of degree $n$ with integer coefficients having squarefree discriminants. Such polynomials are necessarily monogenic. Further, by…

Call a monic integer polynomial exceptional if it has a root modulo all but a finite number of primes, but does not have an integer root. We classify all irreducible monic integer polynomials $h$ for which there is an irreducible monic…

For pure extensions $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ with $\alpha^n=m$, we give a short proof, based only on Dedekind's index theorem, of the $\alpha$-monogeneity criterion: $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]=\mathcal{O}_K$ if and only if $m$ is square-free and…

For positive integers $a$ and $b$, we let $[U_n]$ be the Lucas sequence of the first kind defined by \[U_0=0,\quad U_1=1\quad \mbox{and} \quad U_n=aU_{n-1}+bU_{n-2} \quad \mbox{ for $n\ge 2$},\] and let $\pi(m):=\pi_{(a,b)}(m)$ be the…

L. Jones characterized among others monogenity of a family of cyclic sextic polynomials. Our purpose is to study monogenity of the family of corresponding sextic number fields. This also provides the first non-trivial application of the…

Let $K = \mathbb{Q} (\alpha) $ be a pure number field generated by a root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $ F(x) = x^{2^u\cdot 3^v\cdot 5^t}-m$, with $ m \neq \pm 1 $ a square free rational integer, $u$, $v$ and $t$ three…

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$ be a number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ of a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)=x^{12}-m$, with $m\neq 1$ is a square free rational integer. In this paper, we prove that if $m \equiv 2$ or $3$ (mod…

In this article, we consider the singularity of an arbitrary homogeneous polynomial with complex coefficients $f(x_0,\dots,x_n)$ at the origin of $\mathbb C^{n+1}$, via the study of the monodromy characteristic polynomials $\Delta_l(t)$,…

Let $K = \mathbb{Q} (\alpha) $ be a pure number field generated by a complex root $\alpha$ a monic irreducible polynomial $ F(x) = x^{p^r} -m$, with $ m \neq 1 $ is a square free rational integer, $p$ is a rational prime integer, and $r$ is…

In this paper, we give sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of degenerate monic (and arbitrary, not necessarily monic) polynomials with integer coefficients of fixed degree $n \ge 2$ and height bounded by $H \ge 2$. The polynomial is…

We classify the polynomials with integral coefficients that, when evaluated on a group element of finite order $n$, define a unit in the integral group ring for infinitely many positive integers $n$. We show that this happens if and only if…

The subject matter of this work is quadratic and cubic polynomial functions with integer coefficients;and all of whose roots are integers. The material of this work is directed primarily at educators,students,and teachers of…

Consider a quartic number field $K$ generated by a root of an irreducible quadrinomial of the form $ F(x)= x^4+ax^3+bx+c \in \Z[x]$. Let $i(K)$ denote the index of $K$. Engstrom \cite{Engstrom} established that $i(K)=2^u \cdot 3^v$ with $u…
