Abstract

Lagarias, Montgomery, and Odlyzko proved that there exists an effectively computable absolute constant A1A_1 such that for every finite extension KK of Q{\mathbb{Q}}, every finite Galois extension LL of KK with Galois group GG and every conjugacy class CC of GG, there exists a prime ideal p\mathfrak{p} of KK which is unramified in LL, for which [L/Kp]=C\left[\frac{L/K}{\mathfrak{p}}\right]=C, for which NK/QpN_{K/{\mathbb Q}}\,\mathfrak{p} is a rational prime, and which satisfies NK/Qp2dLA1N_{K/{\mathbb Q}}\,{\mathfrak{p}} \leq 2 {d_L}^{A_1}. In this paper we show without any restriction that NK/QpdL12577N_{K/{\mathbb Q}}\,{\mathfrak{p}} \leq {d_L}^{12577} if LQL \neq {\mathbb Q}, using the approach developed by Lagarias, Montgomery, and Odlyzko.
