Solvable number field extensions of bounded root discriminant

Abstract: Let

K

be a number field and

d_{K}

the absolute value of the discrimant of

K / m a t h b b Q

. We consider the root discriminant

d_{L}^{f r a c 1 [L : m a t h b b Q]}

of extensions

L / K

. We show that for any

N > 0

and any positive integer n, the set of length n solvable extensions of

K

with root discriminant less than

N

is finite. The result is motivated by the study of class field towers.
