We investigate under GRH the number of primes $\\mathfrak p$ of $K$ such that each of the orders of $\\alpha_i\\bmod\\mathfrak p$ lies in a given arithmetic progression associated to $\\alpha_i$. We also study the primes $\\mathfrak p$ for which the index of $\\alpha_i\\bmod\\mathfrak p$ is a fixed integer or lies in a set of integers for each $i$. An additional condition on the Frobenius may be considered. Such results are generalizations of a theorem of Ziegler from 2006, which concerns the case $r=1$ of this problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-09T17:31:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R44", "11R45", "11R18", "11R21" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic numbers", "distribution", "reductions", "number field", "additional condition" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
