The discriminant conjecture for the field generated by a root of
Let be the odd prime and let be the algebraic number considered in the preceding discriminant computation, with its generated number field. Discriminant conjecture. The exact power of dividing the discriminant of is
The preceding argument gives a discriminant divisible by the stated expression up to a square factor, while computations suggest that the defining polynomial has a larger power of ; the conjectured field-discriminant valuation is not proved in the supplied text.
