Cohen–Lenstra conjecture for the largest torsion group in random complexes
Let be the largest torsion group found in the first homology during the torsion burst of the Linial–Meshulam process. For a fixed prime , let the Sylow -subgroup of be the maximal subgroup of order a power of . Cohen–Lenstra conjecture for . For a fixed prime , the Sylow -subgroup of is asymptotically distributed according to the Cohen–Lenstra distribution, which assigns probability
to any finite abelian -group . This is motivated by analogous models of random abelian groups and supported in the paper by computational experiments; the asserted limiting distribution remains conjectural.
