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.

Substantial progress was made when the third author visited the other two at the University of Manchester, and also at the workshop Rational and Integral Points via Analytic and Geometric Methods organised by Tim Browning, Ulrich Derenthal and Cecília Salgado at Hotel Hacienda Los Laureles, Oaxaca. We are very grateful to the organisers of both workshops, to the funding bodies, and to the staff at all three places for providing us with excellent working conditions.
