The local dimension of a finite group over a number field

Abstract

Let GG be a finite group and KK a number field. We construct a GG-extension E/FE/F, with FF of transcendence degree 22 over KK, that specializes to all GG-extensions of KpK_\mathfrak{p}, where p\mathfrak{p} runs over all but finitely many primes of KK. If furthermore GG has a generic extension over KK, we show that the extension E/FE/F has the so-called Hilbert-Grunwald property. These results are compared to the notion of essential dimension of GG over KK, and its arithmetic analogue.
