Monogenity of pure quintic fields: the power of sieving

We provide a simple algorithm for calculating all generators of power integral bases in pure quintic fields. This procedure involves the usual standard elements like Baker’s method, LLL-reduction. The main purpose of the paper is to introduce a new idea to considerably diminish the number of small exponents to be considered after the reduction step. This new idea allows to test all remaining small exponents within a few minutes, using an appropriate sieve method, which turns out to be surprisingly fast. This idea will be applicable in many similar cases.
