Abstract:

Let $K$ be an $S_n$-field. For a nonidentity conjugacy class $C$, define $N_{K,C}$ to be the smallest prime $p$ such that Frob$_p\in C$. By using the observation that $N_{K,C}$ is interpreted as the first prime sign change of the Dirichlet coefficients of automorphic $L$-functions, we improve the known bound on $N_{K,C}$ for $n=3,4,5$. (For $n=5$, we need to assume the strong Artin conjecture.)
