Cohen–Lenstra-inspired conjecture on p-rational cyclic extensions

Fix a prime p5p\geq 5 and an integer m>1m>1 not divisible by pp. Let K0K_0 be a pp-rational quadratic imaginary field, and let Fm(K0)\mathcal F_m(K_0) be the family of cyclic extensions of degree mm over K0K_0, ordered by increasing absolute discriminant. Positive-proportion p-rationality conjecture. The proportion of fields KK in Fm(K0)\mathcal F_m(K_0) that are pp-rational is positive. This conjecture is motivated by the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics and is presented as heuristic evidence for the existence of suitable pp-rational fields; no resolution is given.
