Abstract

Let K/FK/F be a finite extension of number fields of degree n2n \geq 2. We establish effective field-uniform unconditional upper bounds for the least norm of a prime ideal of FF which is degree 1 over Q\mathbb{Q} and does not ramify or split completely in KK. We improve upon the previous best known general estimates due to X. Li when F=QF = \mathbb{Q} and Murty-Patankar when K/FK/F is Galois. Our bounds are the first when K/FK/F is not assumed to be Galois and FQF \neq \mathbb{Q}.
