On the discriminant of pure number fields

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{a})$ be an extension of degree $n$ of the field $\text{Q}$ of rational numbers, where the integer $a$ is such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$ either $p\nmid a$ or the highest power of $p$ dividing $a$ is coprime to $p$; this condition is clearly satisfied when $a,n$ are coprime or $a$ is squarefree. The paper contains an explicit formula for the discriminant of $K$ involving only the prime powers dividing $a,n$.
