On index divisors and monogenity of certain number fields defined by trinomials

Let $K$ be a number field generated by a root $þ$ of a monic irreducible trinomial $F(x) = x^n+ax^{m}+b \in \Z[x]$. In this paper, we study the problem of $K$. More precisely, we provide some explicit conditions on $a$, $b$, $n$, and $m$ for which $K$ is not monogenic. As applications, we show that there are infinite families of non-monogenic number fields defined by trinomials of degree $n=2^r\cdot3^k$ with $r$ and $k$ two positive integers. We also give infinite families of non-monogenic sextic number fields defined by trinomials. Some illustrating examples are giving at the end of this paper.
