Abstract
We consider biquadratic number fields whose maximal orders have power integral bases consisting of units. We prove an effective and efficient criteria to decide whether the maximal order of a biquadratic field has a unit power integral basis or not. In particular we can determine all trivial biquadratic fields whose maximal orders have a unit power integral basis.
Description
In general it is a hard problem to decide which number fields K admit power integral bases, PIB for short. In general to decide whether a number field K admits a PIB or not leads to so called index form equations.
