Cohen–Lenstra conjecture for the largest torsion group in random complexes

Let LT(n)LT(n) be the largest torsion group found in the first homology during the torsion burst of the Linial–Meshulam process. For a fixed prime qq, let the Sylow qq-subgroup of LT(n)LT(n) be the maximal subgroup of order a power of qq. Cohen–Lenstra conjecture for LT(n)LT(n). For a fixed prime qq, the Sylow qq-subgroup of LT(n)LT(n) is asymptotically distributed according to the Cohen–Lenstra distribution, which assigns probability

k=1(1qk)Aut(G)\frac{\prod_{k=1}^{\infty}(1-q^{-k})}{|\operatorname{Aut}(G)|}

to any finite abelian qq-group GG. This is motivated by analogous models of random abelian groups and supported in the paper by computational experiments; the asserted limiting distribution remains conjectural.
