Abstract
Let K be an S-n-field. For a nonidentity conjugacy class C, define N-K,N-C to be the smallest prime p such that Frob(p) is an element of C. By using the observation that N-K,N-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,N-C for n = 3, 4, 5. (For n = 5, we need to assume the strong Artin conjecture.)
