Comments welcome!", "categories": [ "math.NT" ], "abstract": "The problem of analyzing the number of number field extensions $L/K$ with bounded (relative) discriminant has been the subject of renewed interest in recent years, with significant advances made by Schmidt, Ellenberg-Venkatesh, Bhargava, Bhargava-Shankar, and others. In this paper, we use the geometry of numbers and invariant theory of finite groups, in a manner similar to Ellenberg and Venkatesh, to give an upper bound on the number of extensions $L/K$ with fixed degree, bounded relative discriminant, and specified Galois closure.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-04-11T03:11:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R21", "11R29", "13A50", "11H06" ], "keywords": [ "discriminant", "number field extensions", "invariant theory", "specified galois closure", "upper bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
