Distribution of genus numbers of abelian number fields

Number Theory 2023-04-25 v2

Abstract

We study the quantitative behaviour of genus numbers of abelian extensions of number fields with given Galois group. We prove an asymptotic formula for the average value of the genus number and show that any given genus number appears only 0% of the time.
