Cohen-Lenstra Heuristics of Quadratic Number Fields

چکیده
We establish a link between some heuristic asymptotic formulas (due to Cohen and Lenstra) concerning the moments of the p–part of the class groups of quadratic fields and formulas giving the frequency of the values of the p–rank of these class groups. Furthermore we report on new results for 4–ranks of class groups of quadratic number fields.

Asymptotics of Number Fields and the Cohen–lenstra Heuristics
We study the asymptotics conjecture of Malle for dihedral groups D` of order 2`, where ` is an odd prime. We prove the expected lower bound for those groups. For the upper bounds we show that there is a connection to class groups of quadratic number fields. The asymptotic behavior of those class groups is predicted by the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics. Under the assumption of this heuristic we are a...
متن کاملOn the Mean 3-rank of Quadratic Fields
The Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet heuristics give precise predictions about the class groups of a “random” number field. The 3-rank of quadratic fields is one of the few instances where these have been proven. In the present paper, we prove that, in this case, the rate of convergence is at least subexponential. In addition, we show that the defect appearing in Scholz’s mirror theorem is equidistribute...

متن کاملInvariants for A4 Fields and the Cohen-lenstra Heuristics
In 1983, Cohen and Lenstra in [1] provided a heuristic for estimating the distribution of class groups of quadratic fields, and, more generally, abelian extensions of Q. These heuristics were extended by Cohen and Martinet in [2] and [3] in 1987 and 1990 to fields of more general type. Recently, Malle in [9] has subjected these heuristics to careful scrutiny by computing class groups for many f...
متن کاملArithmetic Properties of Class Numbers of Imaginary Quadratic Fields
Under the assumption of the well-known heuristics of Cohen and Lenstra (and the new extensions we propose) we give proofs of several new properties of class numbers of imaginary quadratic number fields, including theorems on smoothness and normality of their divisors. Some applications in cryptography are also discussed.
