The number of $S_4$ fields with given discriminant
  We prove that the number of quartic $S_4$--extensions of the rationals of given discriminant $d$ is $O_\eps(d^{1/2+\eps})$ for all $\eps>0$. For a prime number $p$ we derive that the dimension of the space of octahedral modular forms of weight 1 and conductor $p$ or $p^2$ is bounded above by $O(p^{1/2}\log(p)^2)$.
