Abstract
Let α be a rational number and let Σ be a family of number fields. For each number field K in Σ, either α is a norm of K, or it is not. We might ask for what proportion of K in Σ this is the case. We will see that this is a natural question to ask, and that it is extremely hard in general. For an abelian group A, the case Σ = {A-extensions} was solved by Frei, Loughran, and Newton. We will discuss new results for the simplest class of nonabelian extensions: so-called “generic” number fields of a given degree.
