Counting number fields with prescribed Galois group is an enduring challenge in arithmetic statistics. Using the determinant method, we provide an upper bound for even groups, which is new in some cases.
We explore the dependence of the minimal integral Mahler measure of Galois quartic fields on the discriminant of the field. We obtain density results which are conditional on the ABC conjecture as well as several unconditional results.
Let $n \geq 6$ be an integer. We prove that the number of number fields with Galois group $A_n$ and absolute discriminant at most $X$ is asymptotically at least $X^{1/8 + O(1/n)}$. For $n \geq 8$ this improves upon the previously best known…
Let $G$ be a Frobenius group with an abelian Frobenius kernel $F$ and let $k$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. We obtain an upper bound for the number of degree $|F|$ algebraic extensions $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ with the norm of…
Let $N(5,D_5,X)$ be the number of quintic number fields whose Galois closure has Galois group $D_5$ and whose discriminant is bounded by $X$. By a conjecture of Malle, we expect that $N(5,D_5,X) \sim C X^{1/2}$ for some constant $C$. The…
We study the number $N(n, A_n, X)$ of number fields of degree $n$ whose Galois closure has Galois group $A_n$ and whose discriminant is bounded by $X$. By a conjecture of Malle, we expect that $N(n, A_n, X) \sim C_n X^{1/2} (\log X)^{b_n}$,…
When ordered by discriminant, it is known that about 83% of quartic fields over Q have associated Galois group S_4, while the remaining 17% have Galois group D_4. We study these proportions over a general number field F. We find that…
We prove that the number of quartic fields $K$ with discriminant $|\Delta_K|\leq X$ whose Galois closure is $D_4$ equals $CX+O(X^{5/8+\varepsilon})$, improving the error term in a well-known result of Cohen, Diaz y Diaz, and Olivier. We…
We compute the asymptotic number of octic number fields whose Galois groups over $\mathbb Q$ are isomorphic to $D_4$, the symmetries of a square, when ordering such fields by their absolute discriminants. In particular, we verify the strong…
Let $\mathcal{F}_n(X;G)$ denote the set of number fields of degree $n$ with absolute discriminant no larger than $X$ and Galois group $G$. This set is known to be finite for any finite permutation group $G$ and $X \geq 1$. In this paper, we…
We give an asymptotic formula for the number of $D_4$ quartic extensions of a function field with discriminant equal to some bound, essentially reproducing the analogous result over number fields due Cohen, Diaz y Diaz, and Olivier, but…
In this note we give a counter example to a conjecture of Malle which predicts the asymptotic behaviour of the counting functions for field extensions with given Galois group and bounded discriminant.
In this paper we give a survey of recent methods for the asymptotic and exact enumeration of number fields with given Galois group of the Galois closure. In particular, the case of fields of degree up to 4 is now almost completely solved,…
We count the number of Galois extensions $M/\mathbb{Q}$ with fixed Galois group $\text{Gal}(M/\mathbb{Q})=D_4$ ordered by multi-invariants introduced by Gundlach. We verify the asymptotic behavior predicted by Gundlach's version of Malle's…
We count abelian number fields ordered by arbitrary height function whose generator of tame inertia is restricted to lie in a given subset of the Galois group, and find an explicit formula for the leading constant. We interpret our results…
We consider families of number fields of degree 4 whose normal closures over $\mathbb{Q}$ have Galois group isomorphic to $D_4$, the symmetries of a square. To any such field $L$, one can associate the Artin conductor of the corresponding…
Let $n$ be a positive integer and $G$ be a transitive permutation subgroup of $S_n$. Given a number field $K$ with $[K:\mathbb{Q}]=n$, we let $\widetilde{K}$ be its Galois closure over $\mathbb{Q}$ and refer to…
Using the action of the Galois group of a normal extension of number fields, we generalize and symmetrize various fundamental statements in algebra and algebraic number theory concerning splitting types of prime ideals, factorization types…
Let $G$ be a wreath product of the form $C_2 \wr H$, where $C_2$ is the cyclic group of order 2. Under mild conditions for $H$ we determine the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions for number fields $K/k$ with Galois group $G$ and…
We describe the relations among the $\ell$-torsion conjecture, a conjecture of Malle giving an upper bound for the number of extensions, and the discriminant multiplicity conjecture. We prove that the latter two conjectures are equivalent…
