We propose a conjecture on the distribution of number fields with given Galois group and bounded norm of the discriminant. This conjecture is known to hold for abelian groups. We give some evidence relating the general case to the composition formula for discriminants, give a heuristic argument in f

β¦ Synopsis
In the present paper we deal with the canonical projection Pic Z
Here p is any odd prime number, pk k =1 and C n is the cyclic group of order p n . I proved in (Stolin, 1997), that the canonical projection Pic Z[n] Γ Cl Z[n] can be split. If p is a properly irregular, not regular prime number, then we prove in this paper that the projection Pic Z[C n ] Γ Cl Z[n &1 ] does not split and the p-component of Cl Z[n &1 ] is an obstruction for the splitting. We construct an embedding of the Tate module T p (Q) into Pic (proj.limit Z[C n ]). Using an exact formula for Pic Z[C 2 ] we obtain a formula for the Galois group of a certain extension of Q(1).

Let F denote a field of characteristic different from two. In this paper we describe the mod 2 cohomology of a Galois group G F (called the W-group of F) which is known to essentially characterize the Witt ring WF of anisotropic quadratic modules over F. We show that H\*(G F , F 2 ) contains the mod
