Abstract: Let $K$ be a cyclic totally real number field of odd degree over $mathbbQ$ with odd class number, such that every totally positive unit is the square of a unit, and such that $2$ is inert in $K/mathbbQ$. We define a family of number fields ${K(p)}_p$, depending on $K$ and indexed by the rational primes $p$ that split completely in $K/mathbbQ$, such that $p$ is always ramified in $K(p)$ of degree $2$. Conditional on a standard conjecture on short character sums, the density of such rational primes $p$ that exhibit one of two possible ramified factorizations in $K(p)/mathbbQ$ is strictly between $0$ and $1$ and is given explicitly as a formula in terms of $[K:mathbbQ]$. Our results are unconditional in the cubic case. Our proof relies on a detailed study of the joint distribution of spins of prime ideals.
