Bhargava's Chebotarev splitting conjecture for SnS_n-number fields

From papers

Let nn be a positive integer and let B>0B>0. Let Gn(B;p)\mathcal{G}_{n}(B;p) be the collection of degree-nn number fields KK such that (p)(p) is unramified in KK, DKB|D_K|\leq B, and the normal closure of K/QK/\mathbb{Q} has Galois group SnS_n. Let TnT_n^{\ast} denote the set of partitions of nn corresponding to conjugacy classes of SnS_n, let μTn\mu\in T_n^{\ast}, and let CμC_\mu be the associated conjugacy class. Define the Chebotarev density distribution by

νn(Cμ):=CμSn.\nu_n(C_\mu):=\frac{|C_\mu|}{|S_n|}.

Bhargava's Chebotarev splitting conjecture. For every prime pp, positive integer nn, and μTn\mu\in T_n^{\ast},

limB#{KGn(B;p)p has Artin symbol in Cμ}#{KGn(B;p)}=νn(Cμ).\lim_{B\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\#\{K\in\mathcal{G}_n(B;p)\mid p\text{ has Artin symbol in }C_\mu\}}{\#\{K\in\mathcal{G}_n(B;p)\}}=\nu_n(C_\mu).

The conjecture predicts that, after restricting to fields unramified at pp, Artin symbols are distributed according to the Chebotarev densities of conjugacy classes in SnS_n. The supplied text does not report a proof or disproof, so the conjecture is left open.
