On fields of algebraic numbers with bounded local degrees (Q627258)

The authors prove that there exists a family \(\{K_m\}_{m\geq 1}\) of (nonabelian) finite Galois extensions of \({\mathbb Q}\) such that their compositum \(K=\prod_{m\geq 1}K_m\) in \(\bar{\mathbb Q}\) has uniformly bounded local degrees but cannot be generated by elements of bounded degree.
