Abstract
We give a conjecture concerning when the discriminant of an irreducible monic integral polynomial equals the discriminant of the field defined by adjoining one of its roots to ℚ. We discuss computational evidence for it. An appendix by the second author gives a conjecture concerning when the discriminant of an irreducible monic integral polynomial is square-free and some computational evidence for it.
