The discriminant multiplicity conjecture

For each integer n2n\geq 2, let DKD_K denote the absolute discriminant of a degree-nn number field K/QK/\mathbb{Q}. The discriminant multiplicity conjecture. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there exists a constant Cn,ϵC_{n,\epsilon} such that, for every integer D1D\geq 1, at most Cn,ϵDϵC_{n,\epsilon}D^{\epsilon} degree-nn fields K/QK/\mathbb{Q} have DK=DD_K=D. This is a folk conjecture related to counting number fields with fixed discriminant. It is known that for n6n\geq 6 no improvement over the trivial available bound is known for the corresponding discriminant-multiplicity property.
