Monogenic trinomials and class numbers of related quadratic fields

Abstract: We say that a monic polynomial $f(x)\in {\mathbb Z}[x]$ of degree $N\ge 2$ 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 the divisibility of the class numbers of quadratic fields ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{\delta})$ for certain families of monogenic trinomials $f(x)=x^N+Ax+B$, where $\delta\ne \pm 1$ is a squarefree divisor of the discriminant of $f(x)$.
