Peter Koymans: Counting nilpotent extensions (NTWS 170)
Channel: Number Theory Web Seminar
Date: 2023-05-04

Abstract: We discuss some recent progress towards the strong form of Malle’s conjecture. Even for nilpotent extensions, only very few cases of this conjecture are currently known. We show how equidistribution of Frobenius elements plays an essential role in this problem and how this can be used to make further progress towards Malle’s conjecture. We will also discuss applications to the Massey vanishing conjecture and to lifting problems. This is joint work with Carlo Pagano.
