Integral basis of a cubefree pure cubic field

ID: integral-basis-of-a-cubefree-pure-cubic-field

Let be coprime positive square-free integers, with . The displayed integral basis has discriminant . Both nonconstant generators are integral, and their products are integral linear combinations of the three basis elements. At a prime dividing , the cubic for is Eisenstein; at a prime dividing , the cubic for is Eisenstein. If , then , and a shift by or gives an Eisenstein polynomial at three. These local uniformizer generators show that the order is maximal at all primes dividing its discriminant; elsewhere the discriminant-index formula for an integral lattice already gives maximality.
