Abstract

In this article, we study the monogenity of a tower of number fields defined by the iterates of a stable polynomial. We give a necessary condition for the monogenity of the number fields defined by the iterates of a stable polynomial. When the stable polynomial is of certain type, we also give a sufficient condition for the monogenity of the fields defined by each of its iterate. As a consequence, we obtain an infinite 3-tower of monogenic number fields. Moreover, we construct an infinite family of stable polynomials such that each of its iterate is non-monogenic.
