Dedekind's conjecture on zeta-function quotients

Let L/kL/k be a finite algebraic extension of number fields, and let ζL(s)\zeta_L(s) and ζk(s)\zeta_k(s) denote their Dedekind zeta functions. Dedekind's conjecture. The quotient

ζL(s)ζk(s)\frac{\zeta_L(s)}{\zeta_k(s)}

is entire. The normal-extension case is the Aramata–Brauer theorem, while the general algebraic-extension statement is presented as a conjecture.
