Integral basis of a two-prime biquadratic field
ID: integral-basis-of-a-two-prime-biquadratic-field
For an odd prime , traces to the three quadratic subfields show that an integer has coefficients with rational integers . Its norm to forces even and . Hence an integral basis is . The last generator satisfies the monic polynomial , proving integrality as well as spanning. The subfield used for the norm matters: the norm to has different coefficients.
