Abstract:

In 2020, Fiorilli and Jouve proved an unconditional Chebyshev bias result for a Galois extension of number fields under a group theoretic condition on its Galois group. We extend their result to a larger family of groups. This leads us to characterize abelian groups enabling extreme biases. In the case of prime power degree extensions, we give a simple criterion implying extreme biases and we also investigate the corresponding Linnik-type question.
