Abstract

Let K be a number field and G a finitely generated torsion-free subgroup of K×. Given a prime p of K we denote by indp(G) the index of the subgroup (Gmodp) of the multiplicative group of the residue field at p. Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis we determine the natural density of primes of K for which this index is in a prescribed set S and has prescribed Frobenius in a finite Galois extension F of K. We study in detail the natural density in case S is an arithmetic progression, in particular its positivity.
