On the index of generalized trinomials over Valued fields

Source abstract

Let $ν$ be a Krull valuation of arbitrary rank on a field with valuation ring $R_ν$, and let $θ$ be a root of the irreducible polynomial $F(x)=(x^k+c)^m-ax^n\in R_ν[x]$ and $1\leq n<km$. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the integral closedness of $R_ν[θ]$, expressed explicitly in terms of the coefficients $a$, $b$, and the integers $m$, $n$, and $k$. In particular, when $ν$ is the $p$-adic valuation on $\mathbb{Q}$, our results yield criteria for determining the primes dividing the index $[\mathbb{Z}_K:\mathbb{Z}[θ]],$ where $K=\mathbb{Q}(θ)$ and $\mathbb{Z}_K$ denotes the ring of integers of $K$.
