Abstract
Let f(x)=x12+ax6+b ∈ Z[x], with ab nonzero. We say that f(x)
is monogenic if f(x) is irreducible over Q and {1,θ,θ2,...,θ11}
is a basis for the ring of integers of Q(θ), where f(θ)=0. For each possible Galois group G of f(x) over Q, we give explicit descriptions of all monogenic trinomials f(x) having Galois group G. These results extend recent work on monogenic power-compositional quartic and sextic trinomials.
