Chebotarev Density Theorem for Local Fields
Abstract: For a given p, let rho(p) denote the proportion of irreducible quadratic polynomials over Z which generates field extensions which are totally split at p. Then, it turns out rho(t)=(t^2+1)/(2(t+1)^2). There are two remarkable things about this: it is a rational function in Q(t) and it satisfies the functional equation rho(t)=rho(-t). Bhargava, Cremona, Gajovic, and Fisher conjecture that the same holds for arbitrary degrees and splitting types. We prove a vast generalization of this conjecture in the tame case. This is joint work with Yifan Wei and Asvin G.
