Counting extensions of number fields with Frobenius Galois group
Abstract
Let be a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel and let be a finite extension of . We obtain an upper bound for the number of degree algebraic extensions with Galois group with the norm of the discriminant bounded above by . We extend this method for any group that has an abelian normal subgroup. If has an abelian normal subgroup, then we obtain upper bounds for the number of degree extensions with Galois group with bounded norm of the discriminant. Malle made a conjecture about what the order of magnitude of this quantity should be as the degree of the extension and underlying Galois group vary. We show that under the -torsion conjecture, the upper bounds we achieve for certain pairs and agree with the prediction of Malle. Unconditionally we show that the upper bound for the number of degree 6 extensions with Galois group also satisfies Malle's weak conjecture.
