Cohen–Martinet conjecture for relative class groups

Let Σ=(H,K0,σ)\Sigma=(H,K_0,\sigma) be a situation satisfying the stated character-theoretic assumptions, let O=O(Σ){\mathcal{O}}={\mathcal{O}}(\Sigma), and let p{\mathfrak{p}} be a prime ideal of O{\mathcal{O}}. For a finite p{\mathfrak{p}}-torsion O{\mathcal{O}}-module GG, let N(Σ,G){\mathcal{N}}(\Sigma,G) be the limiting proportion of fields KK(Σ)K\in{\mathcal{K}}(\Sigma) whose relative class group has p{\mathfrak{p}}-part isomorphic to GG, ordered by relative discriminant. Cohen–Martinet conjecture. The limit N(Σ,G){\mathcal{N}}(\Sigma,G) exists and is

(q)(q)u1GuAutO(G),\frac{(q)_\infty}{(q)_u}\cdot\frac{1}{|G|^u|{\operatorname{Aut}}_{\mathcal{O}}(G)|},

where u=u(Σ)u=u(\Sigma), q=O/pq=|{\mathcal{O}}/{\mathfrak{p}}|, and AutO(G){\operatorname{Aut}}_{\mathcal{O}}(G) is the group of O{\mathcal{O}}-automorphisms of GG. This generalizes the Cohen–Lenstra heuristic from imaginary quadratic fields to relative class groups in broader families of number fields; the conjecture predicts both existence and an explicit limiting distribution.
