On the annihilating ideal for trace forms
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Tome 15 (2003) no. 1, pp. 115-124

We give several examples of classes of trace forms for which the ideal of annihilating polynomials is principal. We prove, that in general, the annihilating ideal is not a principal ideal.

Nous donnons plusieurs exemples de familles de formes trace dont l’idéal annulateur dans ℤ[𝕏] est principal. Nous montrons aussi qu’en général, cet idéal n’est pas principal.
