Zero-density conjecture for genus numbers in abelian towers
Zero-density conjecture for genus numbers in abelian towers
Let be a finite group of order , and let denote the subset of consisting of number fields that admit a tower
in which each extension is abelian for all . Zero-density conjecture. For any positive integer , as , the set of fields with has density zero. This conjecture identifies iterated abelian extensions as families in which every prescribed genus number should occur with density zero, contrasting with the positive-proportion phenomenon observed for the and families. It is motivated by the known zero-density result for abelian number fields, while its validity for the broader class of fields admitting an abelian tower remains open.
