On the discriminant and index of a certain class of polynomials

Let $f(x) = (x^{2}+1)^{n} - a x^{n} \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ and assume $f(x)$ is irreducible. Let $\theta$ be a root of $f(x)$, set $K= \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, and denote by $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$ the ring of integers of $K$. The index of $f$, denoted $\operatorname{ind}(f)$, is the index of $\mathbb{Z}[\theta]$ in $\mathbb{Z}_{K}$. A polynomial $f(x)$ is said to be monogenic if $\operatorname{ind}(f) = 1$. In this article, we explicitly compute the discriminant of the polynomial $f(x)$, and then derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the parameters $a$ and $n$ for $f(x)$ to be monogenic. Furthermore, we provide a complete description of the primes that divide $\operatorname{ind}(f)$.

On Monogeneity of reciprocal polynomials

Let $\mathbb{Z}_K$ denote the ring of integers of the number field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\theta)$, where $\theta$ is a root of the monic irreducible polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$. We say that $f(x)$ is monogenic if $\mathbb{Z}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\theta]$. A polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is called reciprocal if $f(x) = x^{\operatorname{deg}(f)} f(1/x)$. In this article, we derive sufficient conditions for the monogeneity of even degree reciprocal polynomials. By employing properties of the discriminant of reciprocal polynomials, we partially prove a conjecture proposed by Jones in $2021$. Furthermore, we establish a lower bound on the number of certain sextic monogenic reciprocal polynomials.

On the Monogenity of Polynomials with Non-Squarefree Discriminants

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 extending Kedlaya's approach, for any odd prime $q$, Jones constructed a class of degree $q$ polynomials with non-squarefree discriminants. In this article, using a similar method provided by Jones, we present another infinite class of monogenic polynomials of degree $q$ with non-squarefree discriminants, where $q$ is a prime of the form $ q = q_0 + q_1 - 1 $, with $ q_0 $ and $ q_1 $ being prime numbers. In addition to this we present a class of non-monogenic polynomials whose coefficients are Sterling numbers of the first kind.
