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 ...
