Counterexamples for T\"urkelli's Modification on Malle's Conjecture

Number Theory 2025-04-08 v2

Abstract

We give counterexamples for the modification on Malle's Conjecture given by T\"urkelli. T\"urkelli's modification on Malle's conjecture is inspired by an analogue of Malle's conjecture over a function field. As a consequence, our counterexamples demonstrate that the bb constant can differ between function fields and number fields. We also show that Kl\"uners' counterexamples give counterexamples for a natural extension of Malle's conjecture to counting number fields by product of ramified primes. We then propose a refined version of Malle's conjecture which implies a new conjectural value for the constant bb for number fields.
