Density conjecture for primes in the rational 2-Selmer group of SnS_n-fields

Let pp be a prime and let n=2mn=2m. Write Sel2Q(F)\operatorname{Sel}_2^{\mathbb{Q}}(F) for the rational part of the 2-Selmer group of an SnS_n-number field FF, and let c(n,p)c(n,p) denote the local mass defined by the weighted count of degree-nn Qp\mathbb{Q}_p-algebras. The rational 2-Selmer prime conjecture. As FF varies over SnS_n-number fields of degree 2m2m with signature (r1,r2)(r_1,r_2) ordered by absolute discriminant,

Prob(FpSel2Q(F))=c(m,p)c(2m,p)1pm.\operatorname{Prob}(F\mid p\in\operatorname{Sel}_2^{\mathbb{Q}}(F))=\frac{c(m,p)}{c(2m,p)}\cdot\frac{1}{p^m}.

This is a local-to-global prediction for the rational 2-Selmer group and underlies the paper's predictions for rationally imprimitive types; it is not known in general.
