Random matrix prediction for regular primes in totally real abelian extensions

Let F/QF/\mathbb{Q} be a totally real abelian extension of order mm, and suppose

Gal(F/Q)i=1nZ/miZ.\operatorname{Gal}(F/\mathbb{Q})\cong\bigoplus_{i=1}^n\mathbb{Z}/m_i\mathbb{Z}.

For primes p0p\gg 0 satisfying pmdiscFp\nmid m\,\operatorname{disc}_F, write FF-regular for the condition that pp is χ\chi-regular for every character of Gal(F/Q)\operatorname{Gal}(F/\mathbb{Q}). Regular-prime proportion conjecture. One estimates that

Prob(p is F-regular)exp(i=1ngcd(mi,p1)2).\operatorname{Prob}(p\text{ is }F\text{-regular})\approx \exp\left(-\frac{\prod_{i=1}^n\gcd(m_i,p-1)}{2}\right).

This extends the character-by-character regularity heuristic to totally real abelian extensions and is presented as a prediction for sufficiently large unramified primes.
