A note on monogenic even polynomials

Abstract

We extend several predecessor works on even sextic monogenic polynomials. In particular, we prove a conjecture of Lenny Jones, thereby classifying even sextic monogenic polynomials with cyclic Galois group. This result is key to completing previous partial results on existence or non-existence of infinite families of even sextic monogenic polynomials with a prescribed Galois group. Some of the underlying ideas are relevant for investigation of more general families of even polynomials $f(X^2)$, or power-compositional polynomials $f(X^\ell)$.
