Feb 14, 2010 at 2:33 comment added François G. Dorais There is a very simple elementary proof of the infinitude of completely split primes! mathoverflow.net/questions/15220/…
Feb 13, 2010 at 16:54 comment added François G. Dorais Very interesting point, Kevin. Is there a proof of the infinitude of completely splitting primes that doesn't involve analysis? (I vaguely remember seeing such a thing in the Abelian case.)
Feb 13, 2010 at 8:44 comment added Kevin Buzzard It's actually only a weak consequence of Cebotarev's theorem, and can be obtained in a more elementary manner. You just need that the zeta function of the number field has a pole, which is a basic fact. This is one of those algebraic-looking results whose most natural proofs are analytic.
