Chebyshev's method for number fields

José Felipe Voloch (2000)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

We give an elementary proof of an explicit estimate for the number of primes splitting completely in an extension of the rationals. The proof uses binomial coefficents and extends Chebyshev's classical approach.

Counting monic irreducible polynomials P in 𝔽 q [ X ] for which order of X ( mod P ) is odd

Christian Ballot (2007)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Hasse showed the existence and computed the Dirichlet density of the set of primes p for which the order of 2 ( mod p ) is odd; it is 7 / 24 . Here we mimic successfully Hasse’s method to compute the density δ q of monic irreducibles P in 𝔽 q [ X ] for which the order of X ( mod P ) is odd. But on the way, we are also led to a new and elementary proof of these densities. More observations are made, and averages are considered, in particular, an average of the δ p ’s as p varies through all rational primes.
