For a prime number p, let i p ( f ) denote the highest power of p dividing the index [ A K : Z [ θ ] ] . Let f ¯ ( x ) = ϕ ¯ 1 ( x ) e 1 ⋯ ϕ ¯ r ( x ) e r be the factorization of f ( x ) modulo p into a product of powers of distinct irreducible polynomials over Z / p Z with ϕ i ( x ) ∈ Z [ x ] monic. Let the integer l ≥ 1 and the polynomial N ( x ) ∈ Z [ x ] be defined by f ( x ) = ∏ i = 1 r ϕ i ( x ) e i + p l N ( x ) , N ‾ ( x ) ≠ 0 ¯ . In this paper, we prove that i p ( f ) ≥ ∑ i = 1 r u i deg ⁡ ϕ i ( x ) , where u i is a constant defined only in terms of l , e i and the highest power of the polynomial ϕ ¯ i ( x ) dividing N ‾ ( x ) . Further a class of irreducible polynomials is described for which the above inequality becomes equality. The results of the paper quickly yield the well known Dedekind criterion which gives a necessary and sufficient condition for i p ( f ) to be zero. In fact, these results are proved in a more general set up replacing Z by any Dedekind domain.

In an attempt to prove the converse of the above result, in this paper we prove that if K 1 , K 2 are finite separable extensions of a valued field ( K , v ) of arbitrary rank which are linearly disjoint over K = K 1 ∩ K 2 and if the integral closure S i of the valuation ring R v of v in K i is a free R v -module for i = 1 , 2 with S 1 S 2 integrally closed, then the discriminant of either S 1 / R v or of S 2 / R v is the unit ideal. We quickly deduce from this result that for algebraic number fields K 1 , K 2 linearly disjoint over K = K 1 ∩ K 2 for which A K 1 A K 2 is integrally closed, the relative discriminants of K 1 / K and K 2 / K must be coprime.

Let θ be a root of an irreducible trinomial F (x) = x n + ax m + b belonging to R v [x]. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions involving only a, b, m, n for R v [θ] to be integrally closed. In the particular case when v is the p-adic valuation of the field Q of rational numbers, F (x) ∈ Z[x] and K = Q(θ), then it is shown that these conditions lead to the characterization of primes which divide the index of the subgroup Z[θ] in A K , where A K is the ring of algebraic integers of K. As an application, it is deduced that for any algebraic number field K and any quadratic field L not contained in K, we have A KL = A K A L if and only if the discriminants of K and L are coprime.

For a maximal ideal [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] denote respectively the valuation rings of the completions of [Formula: see text] with respect to [Formula: see text]. The discriminant satisfies a basic equality which says that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we extend the above equality on replacing [Formula: see text] by the valuation ring of a Krull valuation of arbitrary rank and completion by henselization. In the course of proof, we prove a generalization of the well-known weak Approximation Theorem which is of independent interest as well.

In this article, we explicitly construct a number d d depending only on r i r_i ’s and show that each irreducible factor of f ( x ) f(x) has degree at least d d over Q \mathbf {Q} . This result extends the famous Eisenstein-Dumas irreducibility criterion. In fact, we prove our result in a more general setup for polynomials with coefficients in an arbitrary valued field.
