For each integer $\ell \geq 1$, we prove an unconditional upper bound on the size of the $\ell$-torsion subgroup of the class group, which holds for all but a zero-density set of field extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ of degree $d$, for any fixed $d \in \{2,3,4,5\}$ (with the additional restriction in the case $d=4$ that the field be non-$D_4$). For sufficiently large $\ell$ (specified explicitly), these results are as strong as a previously known bound that is conditional on GRH. As part of our…

It is conjectured that within the class group of any number field, for every integer $\ell \geq 1$, the $\ell$-torsion subgroup is very small (in an appropriate sense, relative to the discriminant of

We prove a new effective Chebotarev density theorem for Galois extensions $L/\mathbb{Q}$ that allows one to count small primes (even as small as an arbitrarily small power of the discriminant of

Let p$\ge$2 be a given prime number. We prove, for any number field kappa and any integer e$\ge$1, the p-rank $\epsilon$-conjecture, on the p-class groups Cl\_F, for the family F\_kappa^p^e of towers

Pointwise bound for ℓ-torsion in class groups: Elementary abelian extensions
Abstract Elementary abelian groups are finite groups in the form of A = ( ℤ / p ⁢ ℤ ) r {A=(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^{r}} for a prime number p. For every integer ℓ > 1 {\ell>1} and r > 1 {r>1} , we

Let K be a multiquadratic extension of Q$\mathbb {Q}$ and let Cl+(K)$\text{Cl}^{+}(K)$ be its narrow class group. Recently, the authors (Koymans and Pagano, Int. Math. Res. Not. 2022 (2022), no. 4,

We determine the average size of the 3-torsion in class groups of G-extensions of a number field when G is any transitive 2-group containing a transposition, for example D4. It follows from the

Taking A to be an abelian variety with full 2-torsion over a number field k, we investigate how the 4-Selmer rank of the quadratic twist A^d changes with d. We show that this rank depends on the
