Abstract
Some time ago we extended our monogenity investigations and calculations of generators of power integral bases to the relative case. Up to now we considered (usually totally real) extensions of complex quartic fields. In the present paper we consider power integral bases in relative extensions of totally real fields. Totally complex quartic extensions of totally real number fields seems to be the most simple case, that we detail here. As we shall see, even in this case we have to overcome several unexpected difficulties, which we can, however solve by properly (but not trivially) adjusting standard methods. We demonstrate our general algorithm on an explicit example. We describe how the general methods for solving relative index form equations in quartic relative extensions are modified in this case. As a byproduct we show that relative Thue equations in totally complex extensions of totally real fields can only have small solutions, and we construct a special method for the enumeration of small solutions of special unit equations. These statements can be applied to other diophantine problems, as well.
