Cohen–Lenstra distribution conjecture for torsion homology of random simplicial complexes

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let X∙X_\bullet be a random simplicial complex, and let H∗(X∙)tors⁡H_\ast(X_\bullet)_{\operatorname{tors}} denote the torsion subgroup of its homology. A Cohen–Lenstra distribution conjecture. Does H∗(X∙)tors⁡H_\ast(X_\bullet)_{\operatorname{tors}} have a Cohen–Lenstra distribution? This asks whether the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics for random algebraic objects extend to torsion homology of random topological objects; the source poses it as a problem without stating a resolution.
