Primes in the Chebotarev density theorem for all number fields

Abstract

We establish an explicit bound for the least prime occurring in the Chebotarev density theorem without any restriction. Let L/KL/K be any Galois extension of number fields such that LQL\not=\mathbb{Q}, and let CC be a conjugacy class in the Galois group of L/KL/K. We show that there exists an unramified prime p\mathfrak{p} of KK such that σp=C\sigma_{\mathfrak{p}}=C and NpdLBN \mathfrak{p} \le d_{L}^{B} with B=310B= 310. This improves the value B=12577B=12\,577 as proven by Ahn and Kwon. In comparison to previous works on the subject, we modify the weights to detect the least prime, and we use a new version of Tur\'an's power sum method which gives a stronger Deuring-Heilbronn (zero-repulsion) phenomenon. In addition, we refine the analysis of how the location of the potential exceptional zero for ζL(s)\zeta_L(s) affects the final result. We also use Fiori's numerical verification for LL up to a certain discriminant height. Finally, we provide a lower bound for the number of unramified primes p\mathfrak{p} of KK such that σp=C\sigma_{\mathfrak{p}}=C.
