Delaunay–Jouhet moment conjecture for class groups of quadratic fields

Let pp be a prime with p3p\geqslant 3. For a finite abelian pp-group of type λ\lambda, let Cλ,μ(p)C_{\lambda,\mu}(p) denote the number of subgroups of type μ\mu. For a quadratic field KdK_d of fundamental discriminant dd, write Cℓ(Kd)[pj]\operatorname{C\ell}(K_d)[p^j] for the subgroup annihilated by pjp^j.

Delaunay–Jouhet moment conjecture. For every positive integer \ell and partition λ=1m12m2m\lambda=1^{m_1}2^{m_2}\cdots \ell^{m_\ell}, the average over fundamental negative discriminants satisfies

Avgdj=1Cℓ(Kd)[pj]mj=μλCλ,μ(p),\operatorname{Avg}_d\,\prod_{j=1}^{\ell}|\operatorname{C\ell}(K_d)[p^j]|^{m_j}=\sum_{\mu\subseteq\lambda}C_{\lambda,\mu}(p),

while the average over fundamental positive discriminants satisfies

Avgdj=1Cℓ(Kd)[pj]mj=μλCλ,μ(p)pμ.\operatorname{Avg}_d\,\prod_{j=1}^{\ell}|\operatorname{C\ell}(K_d)[p^j]|^{m_j}=\sum_{\mu\subseteq\lambda}C_{\lambda,\mu}(p)p^{-|\mu|}.

Here the sums range over integer partitions μλ\mu\subseteq\lambda.

This is a moment formulation of the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics for the pp-primary parts of class groups of quadratic fields. The source presents it as a conjecture and gives no resolution of the full statement.
