$S_4$-quartics with Prescribed Norms

Number Theory 2022-10-14 v1

Abstract

Given a number field kk and a finitely generated subgroup Ak\mathcal{A} \subseteq k^*, we study the distribution of S4S_4-quartic extensions of kk such that the elements of A\mathcal{A} are norms. We show that the density of such extensions is the product of so-called "local masses" at every place of kk. We give these local masses explicitly in almost all cases and give an algorithm for computing the remaining cases.
