The moment problem for random objects in a category

W Sawin, MM Wood - arXiv preprint arXiv:2210.06279, 2022 - arxiv.org
The moment problem in probability theory asks for criteria for when there exists a unique
measure with a given tuple of moments. We study a variant of this problem for random …

Probability theory for random groups arising in number theory

MM Wood - Proceedings of the International Congress of …, 2022 - ems.press
We consider the probability theory, and in particular the moment problem and universality
theorems, for random groups of the sort that arise or are conjectured to arise in number …

Conjectures for distributions of class groups of extensions of number fields containing roots of unity

W Sawin, MM Wood - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.00791, 2023 - arxiv.org
Cohen, Lenstra, and Martinet have given conjectures for the distribution of class groups of
extensions of number fields, but Achter and Malle have given theoretical and numerical …

Moments and interpretations of the Cohen–Lenstra–Martinet heuristics

The goal of this paper is to prove theorems that elucidate the Cohen–Lenstra–Martinet
conjectures for the distributions of class groups of number fields, and further the …

Finite quotients of 3-manifold groups

W Sawin, MM Wood - Inventiones mathematicae, 2024 - Springer
Abstract For G and H 1,…, H n finite groups, does there exist a 3-manifold group with G as a
quotient but no H i as a quotient? We answer all such questions in terms of the group …

The Cohen--Lenstra moments over function fields via the stable homology of non-splitting Hurwitz spaces

A Landesman, I Levy - arXiv preprint arXiv:2410.22210, 2024 - arxiv.org
We compute the average number of surjections from class groups of quadratic function fields
over $\mathbb F_q (t) $ onto finite odd order groups $ H $, once $ q $ is sufficiently large …

Mixed moments and the joint distribution of random groups

J Lee - Journal of Algebra, 2024 - Elsevier
We study the joint distribution of random abelian and non-abelian groups. In the abelian
case, we prove several universality results for the joint distribution of the multiple cokernels …
