Abstract: Let $N(5,D_5,X)$ be the number of quintic number fields whose Galois closure has Galois group $D_5$ and whose discriminant is bounded by $X$. By a conjecture of Malle, we expect that $N(5,D_5,X)simC{X}^{1/2}$ for some constant $C$. The best known upper bound is $N(5,D_5,X)ll{X}^{3/4+epsilon}$, and we show this could be improved by counting points on a certain variety defined by a norm equation; computer calculations give strong evidence that this number is $ll{X}^{2/3}$. Finally, we show how such norm equations can be helpful by reinterpreting an earlier proof of Wong on upper bounds for $A_4$ quartic fields in terms of a similar norm equation.
