On the index divisors and monogenity of number fields defined by x5 + ax3 + b

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to provide a complete answer to the Problem 22 of Narkiewicz[24] for any quintic number field K generated  by a complex root α of a monic irreducible trinomial F(x) = x⁵ + ax³ + b ∈ Z[x]. Namely we calculate the index of the field K. In  particular, if the index is not trivial, then K is not mongenic. Finally, we illustrate our results by some computational examples.
