Secondary terms in the counting functions of quartic fields II

Number Theory 2025-08-13 v1

Abstract

We determine the smoothed counts of S4S_4-quartic fields with bounded discriminant, satisfying any finite specified set of local conditions, as the sum of two main terms with a power saving error term. We also prove an analogous result for quartic rings (weighted by the number of cubic resolvents), deducing as a consequence that the Shintani zeta functions associated to the prehomogeneous vector space C2Sym2(C3)\mathbb{C}^2\otimes\mathrm{Sym}^2(\mathbb{C}^3) have at most a simple pole at s=5/6s=5/6.
