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…
In this paper, based on techniques of Newton polygons, a result which allows the computation of a p integral basis of every quartic number field is given. For each prime integer p, this result allows to compute a p-integral basis of a…
Let $m$ and $k \geq 2$ be positive integers. We show that polynomial $P = (1+x)^m(1+x^k)$ is strongly unimodal (frequently known as {\it log concave\/}) if and only if $m \geq k^2 -3$; this is also the criterion for $P$ to be merely…
We show that if $K$ is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over $K$. In particular, we extend…
In this article we compute the $q$th power values of the quadratic polynomials $f$ with negative squarefree discriminant such that $q$ is coprime to the class number of the splitting field of $f$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The theory of unique…

For irreducible integer polynomials $f(n)=n^d+c$ we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $k$-th power free values taken by $f(n)$, for $n$ running up to $x$, subject to the condition $k\ge (5d+3)/9$. This improves earlier results…
A monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $n$ is called monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$ and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots ,\theta^{n-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb Q}(\theta)$, where…
We investigate monogenicity and prime splitting in extensions generated by roots of iterated quadratic polynomials. Let $f(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ be an irreducible, monic, quadratic polynomial, and write $f^n(x)$ for the $n^{\text{th}}$…
Let $K$ be a global field and $n > 1$ an integer. We show $n$ is composite if and only if there is an irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in K[x]$ of degree $n$ which is reducible $q$-adically for all the primes $q$ of $K$.
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{a})$ be an extension of degree $n$ of the field $\Q$ of rational numbers, where the integer $a$ is such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$ either $p\nmid a$ or the highest power of $p$ dividing $a$ is coprime to…

For an integer $M\geq 2$ and a finite group $G$, an element $\alpha\in G$ is called an $M$-th power if it satisfies $A^M=\alpha$ for some $A\in G$. In this article, we will deal with the case when $G$ is finite symplectic or orthogonal…
