Abstract: For each integer $ellgeq1$, we prove an unconditional upper bound on the size of the $ell$-torsion subgroup of the class group, which holds for all but a zero-density set of field extensions of $mathbbQ$ of degree $d$, for any fixed $din2,3,4,5$ (with the additional restriction in the case $d=4$ that the field be non-$D_4$). For sufficiently large $ell$ (specified explicitly), these results are as strong as a previously known bound that is conditional on GRH. As part of our argument, we develop a probabilistic "Chebyshev sieve," and give uniform, power-saving error terms for the asymptotics of quartic (non-$D_4$) and quintic fields with chosen splitting types at a finite set of primes.
