Mészáros's critical-distribution conjecture for band-matrix cokernels
Let be prime. For each , let be a distribution on the set of finite abelian -groups. Let be positive integers, and let be a Haar-uniform band matrix over with band width . Assume that
Mészáros's critical-distribution conjecture. For every finite abelian -group ,
This conjecture predicts a one-parameter family of limiting cokernel distributions at the critical scale separating Cohen–Lenstra and non-Cohen–Lenstra behavior. The source states that the conjecture is still open.
