A supplement to Chebotarev's density theorem

Number Theory 2024-11-18 v2

Abstract

Let L/KL/K be a Galois extension of number fields with Galois group GG. We show that if the density of prime ideals in KK that split totally in LL tends to 1/G1/|G| with a power saving error term, then the density of prime ideals in KK whose Frobenius is a given conjugacy class CGC\subset G tends to C/G|C|/|G| with the same power saving error term. We deduce this by relating the poles of the corresponding Dirichlet series to the zeros of ζL(s)/ζK(s)\zeta_L(s)/\zeta_K(s).
