Dedekind's criterion for the monogenicity of a number field versus Uchida's and L\"uneburg's

Abstract

We compare three different characterizations, due respectively to R. Dedekind, K. Uchida, and H. L\"uneburg, of when $\mathbb Z[\theta]$ is the ring of integers of $\mathbb Q(\theta)$, and apply our results to some concrete $2$-towers of number fields.
