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.

Multiplicities for tensor products on Special linear versus Classical groups

In this paper, using computations done through the LiE software, we compare the tensor product of irreducible selfdual representations of the special linear group with those of classical groups to formulate some conjectures relating the two. In the process a few other phenomenon present themselves which we record as questions. More precisely, under the natural correspondence of irreducible finite dimensional selfdual representations of ${\rm SL}_{2n}({\mathbb C})$ with those of ${\rm Spin}_{2n+1}({\mathbb C})$, it is easy to see that if the tensor product of three irreducible representations of ${\rm Spin}_{2n+1}({\rm C})$ contains the trivial representation, then so does the tensor product of the corresponding representations of ${\rm SL}_{2n}({\rm C})$. The paper formulates a conjecture in the reverse direction. We also deal with the pair $({\rm SL}_{2n+1}({\rm C}), {\rm Sp}_{2n}({\rm C}))$.
