$A_5$-extension of number fields unramified everywhere

So I was having tea with a colleague immensely more talented than myself and we were discussing his teaching algebraic number theory. He told me that he had given a few examples of abelian and ...

Degree 17 number fields ramified only at 2

The number $17$ is the smallest odd number that occurs as the degree of a number field $K/\mathbb{Q}$ for which the only finite prime that ramifies is $2$. The non-existence for $n < 17$ follows ...

Constructing a cyclic extension $L$ with given local behavior of a global field $K$ such that $L$ is normal over a subfield $F$ of $K$

Let $F$ be a global field without real places (that is, a function field or a totally imaginary number field). Let $K/F$ be a cyclic extension of degree $n$. Let $S$ be a ${\rm Gal}(K/F)$-invariant ...
