Discriminant and integral basis of number fields defined by exponential Taylor polynomials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 April 2024
Abstract
Let $K_n=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha_n)$ be a family of algebraic number fields where $\alpha_n\in \mathbb{C}$ is a root of the nth exponential Taylor polynomial $\frac{x^n}{n!}+ \frac{x^{n-1}}{(n-1)!}+ \cdots +\frac{x^2}{2!}+\frac{x}{1!}+1$, $n\in \mathbb{N}$. In this paper, we give a formula for the exact power of any prime p dividing the discriminant of Kn in terms of the p-adic expansion of n. An explicit p-integral basis of Kn is also given for each prime p. These p-integral bases quickly lead to the construction of an integral basis of Kn.
