Common index divisor of the number fields defined by $x^5+\,ax\,+b$
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2022
Abstract
Let $K={\mathbf {Q}}(\theta )$ be an algebraic number field with $\theta$ a root of an irreducible polynomial $x^5+ax+b\in {\mathbf {Z}}[x]$. In this paper, for every rational prime $p$, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on $a,\,~b$ so that $p$ is a common index divisor of $K$. In particular, we give sufficient conditions on $a,\,~b$ for which $K$ is non-monogenic. We illustrate our results through examples.
