Streszczenie
Let be an extension of degree n of the field \mathbb 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.
