A Note on Abelian Monogenic Trinomials

Abstract

An abelian monogenic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ is a monic polynomial of degree $N$ that is irreducible over ${\mathbb Q}$, such that the Galois group of $f(x)$ over ${\mathbb Q}$ is abelian, and $\{1,\theta,\theta^2,\ldots,\theta^{N-1}\}$ is a basis for the ring of integers of ${\mathbb Q}(\theta)$, where $f(\theta)=0$. In this article, we determine all abelian monogenic trinomials of the form $x^{2n}+ax^{n}+b$, where $n,a,b\in {\mathbb Z}$ with $n\ge 1$ and $ab\ne 0$.
