Abstract

For cyclic totally real number fields KK with odd prime degree nn, odd class number, 22 inert, and the property that every totally positive unit is a square, the density of rational primes pp that satisfy the spin relation spin(p,σ)(\mathfrak{p},\sigma)spin(p,σ1)=1(\mathfrak{p},\sigma^{-1})=1 for all σ1\sigma\neq 1 \in Gal(K/Q)(K/\mathbb{Q}) where p\mathfrak{p} is a prime of KK above pp is given by the formula DK=mKn+1n2n D_K=\frac{m_Kn+1}{n2^n} where mKm_K is a computable and bounded invariant of the number field KK. This formula is modified in the erratum from the original version due to an error in the inert case. As the inert case is insubstantial, the strength of the results is not significantly changed.
