Boston–Markin conjecture for totally real tamely ramified extensions
Boston–Markin conjecture for totally real tamely ramified extensions
Let be a nontrivial finite group. Write for the least number of conjugacy classes in that generate . A -extension is a Galois extension with Galois group identified with .
Boston–Markin conjecture. There exists a totally real tamely ramified -extension such that the number of finite primes of ramified in is .
The integer is a lower bound because the cyclic inertia subgroups generate . The conjecture is known for abelian and remains open for every nonabelian .
