We give an asymptotic formula for the number of D 4 quartic extensions of a function field with discriminant equal to some bound, essentially reproducing the analogous result over number fields due Cohen, Diaz y Diaz, and Olivier, but with a stronger error term. We also study the relative density of D 4 and S 4 quartic extensions of a function field and show that with mild conditions, the number of D 4 quartic extensions can far exceed the number of S 4 quartic extensions.

Nous donnons une formule asymptotique pour le nombre d’extensions quartiques du type D 4 et de discriminant donné d’un corps de fonctions en démontrant un résultat analogue à celui de Cohen, Diaz y Diaz et Olivier pour les corps de nombres mais avec un meilleur terme d’erreur. Nous étudions aussi la densité relative des extensions quartiques des types D 4 et S 4 d’un corps de fonctions. Nous montrons que sous des hypothèses faibles, le nombre d’extensions quartiques du type D 4 peut largement dépasser le nombre d’extensions quartiques du type S 4 .
