Rarity of fixed inertia-type prime counts in number fields
Rarity of fixed inertia-type prime counts in number fields
Let be a transitive permutation group, let be a number field, and let be the set of number fields whose Galois closures are -extensions and for which , where is the stabilizer of . For a nonempty subset closed under invertible powering, let indicate that exactly primes have inertia subgroup intersecting , and let denote the ordering parameter used in the sums. Suppose that .
Rarity conjecture. For every , there exists an integer such that
Moreover, for every ,
These assertions formalize the Malle–Bhargava heuristic that, among fields ordered by , fields with any fixed number of ramified primes whose inertia meets are negligible compared with suitable families, and negligible compared with all fields. The source presents both assertions as conjectural; no resolution is supplied.
