Sawin–Wood conjecture for class groups of Gamma-extensions containing roots of unity

Let Γ\Gamma be a finite group and let pp be a prime with pΓp\nmid |\Gamma|. Let

S=Zp[Γ]/(γΓγ).S=\mathbb{Z}_p[\Gamma]/\left(\sum_{\gamma\in\Gamma}\gamma\right).

Let K0K_0 be a number field with uu infinite places containing the prp^rth roots of unity but not the pr+1p^{r+1}th roots of unity, for some r1r\geq 1. Let E=E(Γ,K0)\mathcal{E}=\mathcal{E}(\Gamma,K_0) be the set of isomorphism classes of Galois Γ\Gamma-extensions K/K0K/K_0 together with an isomorphism Gal(K/K0)Γ\operatorname{Gal}(K/K_0)\simeq\Gamma, and write ClKK0=ClK/ClK0\operatorname{Cl}_{K|K_0}=\operatorname{Cl}_K/\operatorname{Cl}_{K_0}. Sawin–Wood conjecture. As KK varies over E\mathcal{E}, the distribution of SS-modules ClKK0[p]\operatorname{Cl}_{K|K_0}[p^\infty] has average number of surjective morphisms to any finite SS-module VV equal to

(Zp2V)Γ[pr]Vu.\frac{|(\wedge^2_{\mathbb{Z}_p}V)^\Gamma[p^r]|}{|V|^u}.

The claimed moments determine a unique distribution on SS-modules, for which the paper gives an explicit formula. This is a conjectural refinement of Cohen–Lenstra–Martinet heuristics at primes dividing the order of roots of unity in the base field.
