Abstract

We study the distribution of extensions of a number field k with fixed abelian Galois group G, from which a given finite set of elements of k are norms. In particular, we show the existence of such extensions. Along the way, we show that the Hasse norm principle holds for 100% of G-extensions of k, when ordered by conductor. The appendix contains an alternative purely geometric proof of our existence result.
