 Integral basis of a pure quartic field with radicand three modulo four

For a nonzero squarefree integer $d\equiv 3(\mathrm{mod}4)$, set $\theta =\sqrt[4]{d}$. The power basis $1,\theta ,{\theta }^2,{\theta }^3$ is an integral basis, with discriminant $-256d^3$. The polynomial is Eisenstein at every prime dividing $d$; for $d=-1$, shift $X^4+1$ by one to obtain an Eisenstein polynomial at two. The discriminant-index formula for an integral lattice restricts any power-basis index prime to $2d$. An Eisenstein prime cannot divide the index: the norm of $r{\theta }^i/p$ has valuation $i-4<0$ for $p\nmid r$ and $i<4$, while ${\theta }^4/p$ is integral; multiplying a putative denominator-$p$ integral element successively by powers of $\theta$ forces each numerator coefficient divisible by $p$.

It remains to exclude two. A putative integral element $(a+b\theta +c{\theta }^2+e{\theta }^3)/2$ has relative norm to $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ with coefficientsThe quadratic field has ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{d}]$, so both coefficients are integers. The first congruence forces $a,c$ to have the same parity. If they are odd, the second requires $b^2+3e^2\equiv 2(\mathrm{mod}4)$, impossible. If they are even, the second forces $b,e$ to have the same parity and the first forces $be$ even, so both are even. Thus no nontrivial denominator-two element exists, proving index one.
