Gundlach's multi-invariant counting conjecture for Galois extensions

Let GG be a finite group, let KK be a number field, and let inv1,,invn\operatorname{inv}_1,\ldots,\operatorname{inv}_n denote the multi-invariants used to order GG-extensions M/KM/K, with Gal(M/K)G\operatorname{Gal}(M/K)\simeq G. Fix a real number 0<δ<10<\delta<1. Gundlach's multi-invariant conjecture. There is a constant C>0C>0 such that, as all XiX_i tend to infinity,

\\#\\{M/K:\operatorname{Gal}(M/K)\simeq G,\\ \delta X_i<\operatorname{inv}_i(M)\leq X_i\\ \forall i\\}\sim C\cdot\prod_i X_i.

The conjecture is motivated by a heuristic for counting extensions in multi-invariant boxes and is intended to refine Malle's discriminant-ordering conjecture. The paper applies this framework to D4D_4-extensions over Q\operatorname{\mathbb{Q}}, but the supplied status information does not establish a resolution in general.
