Artin L-functions of small conductor

چکیده
We study the problem of finding the Artin L-functions with the smallest conductor for a given Galois type. We adapt standard analytic techniques to our novel situation of fixed Galois type and obtain much improved lower bounds on the smallest conductor. For small Galois types we use complete tables of number fields to determine the actual smallest conductor.

Inductivity of the Global Root Number
The invariance of the Artin root number under induction can be proved without special effort. In fact if one develops the properties of Artin Lfunctions in the usual way, then the inductivity of the root number is obvious. In barest outline the argument is as follows. First one proves the inductivity of Artin L-functions themselves, and then one combines Brauer’s induction theorem with the anal...
متن کاملNewton Slopes for Artin-schreier-witt Towers
We fix a monic polynomial f(x) ∈ Fq[x] over a finite field and consider the Artin-Schreier-Witt tower defined by f(x); this is a tower of curves · · · → Cm → Cm−1 → · · · → C0 = A, with total Galois group Zp. We study the Newton slopes of zeta functions of this tower of curves. This reduces to the study of the Newton slopes of L-functions associated to characters of the Galois group of this tow...
متن کاملExtreme values of Artin L-functions and class numbers
Assuming the GRH and Artin conjecture for Artin L-functions, we prove that there exists a totally real number field of any fixed degree (> 1) with an arbitrarily large discriminant whose normal closure has the full symmetric group as Galois group and whose class number is essentially as large as possible. One ingredient is an unconditional construction of totally real fields with small regulato...
متن کاملOn the Conductor Formula of Bloch
In [6], S. Bloch conjectures a formula for the Artin conductor of the l-adic etale cohomology of a regular model of a variety over a local field and proves it for a curve. The formula, which we call the conductor formula of Bloch, enables us to compute the conductor that measures the wild ramification by using the sheaf of differential 1-forms. In this paper, we prove the formula in arbitrary d...
متن کاملTrivial L-functions for the rational function field
In this paper, we will study an extreme case of cancellation over the rational function field k = E(T ). If we assume that the geometric Galois group Gal(k/kE) has no non-trivial invariants on V and that the degree f(V ) of the Artin conductor of V is twice the dimension of V , then L(V, s) is a polynomial of degree 0 in q with constant coefficient 1. Hence L(V, s) = 1 is a constant function! W...
