Wood's conjecture on unramified extensions of quadratic fields
Let be a finite group and a subgroup. Write for the average number of unramified extensions of quadratic fields , unramified at finite primes, such that and . Let be a conjugacy class of elements of order in , and let and denote the corresponding reduced Schur multiplier and group of -equivariant automorphisms. The parameter is in the imaginary case and in the real case.
Wood's conjecture. If there is a unique conjugacy class of order elements of not contained in , then
Otherwise,
This conjecture generalizes the Cohen–Lenstra question from abelian class groups to non-abelian unramified extensions; Wood proved supporting results over function fields, while the stated number-field distribution remains open.
