Abstract

Let KK be a number field. The KK-arithmetic type of a rational prime \ell is the tuple AK()=(f1K,...,fgK)A_{K}(\ell)=(f^{K}_{1},...,f^{K}_{g_{\ell}}) of the residue degrees of \ell in KK, written in ascending order. A well known result of Perlis from the 70's states that two number fields have the same Dedekind zeta function if and only if for almost all primes \ell the arithmetic types of \ell in both fields coincide. By the end of the 90's Perlis and Stuart asked if having the same zeta function implies that for ramified primes the sum of the ramification degrees coincide. Here we study and answer their question for septic number fields.
