Ziegler's conjecture on power bases of units in pure number-field orders
Let be an integer and let be such that has algebraic degree . The order is the subring generated by this algebraic integer, and a power basis consisting of units is a basis of the form whose elements are all units for a suitable generator . Ziegler's conjecture. The order admits a power basis consisting of units if and only if for some integer . This extends the known quartic result and analogous results in lower degrees; the source gives no resolution of the general statement.
