Connected components of Hurwitz schemes and Malle's conjecture

Abstract: Let Z(X) be the number of degree-d extensions of Fq(t) with bounded discriminant and some specified Galois group. The problem of computing Z(X) can be related to a problem of counting Fq-rational points on certain Hurwitz spaces. Ellenberg and Venkatesh used this idea to develop a heuristic for the asymptotic behavior of Z ′ (X), the number of -geometrically connected-extensions, and showed that this agrees with the conjectures of Malle for function fields. We extend Ellenberg-Venkatesh's argument to handle th… Show more

“…The application to the 3-part of the class group of quadratic fields is a special case of our application. More generally, the principle also makes correct predictions with infinitely many local conditions for quadratic, S 3 cubic, S 4 quartic, S 5 quintic fields [Bha14], and abelian [FLN15] fields with local conditions at infinitely many primes such that for sufficiently large primes all unramified and minimally ramified local extensions are allowed (in the abelian case excepting local conditions that are never satisfied; see also [BST13,TT13] [Tür15] both suggest ways to correct Malle's conjecture, and in particular suggest that it should still hold if we do not count extensions with nontrivial subfields that are subfields of certain cyclotomic fields. First, we note that the only admissible subgroup of C S 2 is D ⊂ C S 2 (with C → C × C as a → (a, −a)), so have not above applied the Malle-Bhargava principle in the cases of known counter-examples.…”

“…Unfortunately, the conjecture is not true in this form, as Klüners [Klü05a] provided a counter-example for G " C3 ≀ C2 Ă S6 for which bpK, Gq is too small. There have been proposed corrections for bpK, Gq by Türkelli [Tür15], but the 1{apGq exponent is still widely believed to be correct. This leads to the weak form of Malle's conjecture, which will be the major focus of study of this paper:…”

“…Klüners [Klü05a] shows that the conjecture does not hold for C 3 C 2 number fields over Q in its S 6 representation, where Malle's conjecture predicts a smaller power for ln X in the main term. See [Klü05a] and [Tur08] for suggestions on how to fix the conjecture. And by relaxing the precise description of the power for ln X, the weak form of Malle's conjecture states that for arbitrary given small > 0, the distribution satisfies C 1 X 1/a(G) ≤ N k (G, X) ≤ C 2 ( )X 1/a(G)+ when X is large enough.…”
