A generalization of simplest number fields and their integral basis

Acta Mathematica Hungarica volume 163, pages 437–461 (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

An integral basis of the simplest number fields of degrees 3, 4 and 6 over \(\mathbb{Q}\) is well-known, and widely investigated. We generalize the simplest number fields to any degree, and show that an integral basis of these fields is repeating periodically.
