Squarefree reduction excludes a prime from the power-basis index
ID: squarefree-reduction-excludes-a-prime-from-the-power-basis-index
For an algebraic integer generating a number field, the polynomial discriminant of its minimal polynomial equals the discriminant of elements of a number field for its power basis. A squarefree reduction modulo has nonzero resultant with its derivative, so . The discriminant-index formula for an integral lattice, , proves the assertion.
