A Bound for the Least Prime Ideal in the Chebotarev Density Theorem.
1. Introduction. Number fields with the same zeta function are said to be arithmetically equivalent. Arithmetically equivalent fields share much of the same properties; for example, they have the same degrees, discriminants, number of both real and complex valuations, and prime decomposition laws (over ℚ). They also have isomorphic unit groups and determine the same normal closure over ℚ [6]. Strangely enough, it has been shown (for example [4], or more recently [6] and [7]) that this does...
Suppose is an abelian extension of number fields. Stark’s conjecture predicts, under suitable hypotheses, the existence of a global unit of such that the special values for all characters of can be expressed as simple linear combinations of the logarithms of the different absolute values of .In this paper we formulate an extension of this conjecture, to attempt to understand the values when the order of vanishing may be greater than one. This conjecture no longer predicts the existence...
