Cohen–Lenstra–Martinet average torsion conjecture for class groups of G-extensions

About 2 years old · traced to

Let kk be a number field, let GG be a transitive permutation group, and let pp be a prime such that p∤∣G∣p\nmid \lvert G\rvert. For a real number X>1X>1, let Ek(G,X)E_k(G,X) be the set of GG-extensions KK of kk with ∣Disc⁡(K)∣≤X\lvert\operatorname{Disc}(K)\rvert\leq X, and let hp(K)h_p(K) denote the size of the pp-torsion subgroup of Cl⁡(K)\operatorname{Cl}(K). Cohen–Lenstra–Martinet conjecture. There exists a constant ck,G,p>0c_{k,G,p}>0 such that

lim⁡X→∞1∣Ek(G,X)∣∑K∈Ek(G,X)hp(K)=ck,G,p.\lim_{X\to\infty}\frac{1}{\lvert E_k(G,X)\rvert}\sum_{K\in E_k(G,X)}h_p(K)=c_{k,G,p}.

This conjecture predicts that the average size of pp-torsion in class groups of GG-extensions is finite, with the constant determined by kk, GG, and pp. The paper proves the conjecture for p=3p=3 and groups of the form C2≀HC_2\wr H when HH is any nilpotent group, extending earlier work for a broad family of permutation groups.
