Modified Cohen–Lenstra-type distribution conjecture for relative class groups

About 17 years old · traced to

Let Σ=(G,K0)\Sigma=(G,K_0) be the number-field extension data under consideration, let pp be a prime, and let HH be a finite pp-group of pp-rank rr. Assume that pp does not divide the permutation degree of GG, and that K0K_0 contains the ppth but not the p2p^2th roots of unity. Let u=u(Σ)u=u(\Sigma) be the parameter associated with Σ\Sigma, and let K(Σ)\mathcal{K}(\Sigma) denote the corresponding family of fields.

Modified class-group distribution conjecture. A given finite pp-group HH occurs as the Sylow pp-subgroup of a relative class group Cl⁡(K/K0)\operatorname{Cl}(K/K_0) for K∈K(Σ)K\in\mathcal{K}(\Sigma) with probability

\nc ∏i=1r+u(pi−1)pr(u+1)⋅1∣H∣u ∣Aut⁡(H)∣,\nc\, \frac{\prod_{i=1}^{r+u}(p^i-1)}{p^{r(u+1)}}\cdot \frac{1}{|H|^u\,|\operatorname{Aut}(H)|},

\nwhere

\nc=1∏i=u+1∞(1+p−i)=(p2)u(p)∞(p)u(p2)∞.\nc=\frac{1}{\prod_{i=u+1}^\infty(1+p^{-i})}=\frac{(p^2)_u(p)_\infty}{(p)_u(p^2)_\infty}.

This modifies the preceding proposed distribution in the presence of ppth roots of unity, while retaining the Cohen–Lenstra-type dependence on ∣H∣|H| and ∣Aut⁡(H)∣|\operatorname{Aut}(H)|. The parser supplies no resolution evidence, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
