Abstract

We say a monic polynomial $f(x) \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $n \geq 2$ is monogenic if $f(x)$ is irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$ 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 investigate when a pair of polynomials $f(x) = x^n-a$ and $g(x) = x^m-b$ has the property that $f(x)$ and $f(g(x))$ are monogenic.
