Malle's conjecture with multiple invariants

Abstract

We define invariants $\operatorname{inv}_1,\dots,\operatorname{inv}_m$ of Galois extensions of number fields with a fixed Galois group. Then, we propose a heuristic in the spirit of Malle's conjecture which asymptotically predicts the number of extensions that satisfy $\operatorname{inv}_i\leq X_i$ for all $X_i$. The resulting conjecture is proved for abelian Galois groups. We also describe refined Artin conductors that carry essentially the same information as the invariants $\operatorname{inv}_1,\dots,\operatorname{inv}_m$.
