Heuristics of Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet

The answer to the question as stated is "no". The original Cohen—Lenstra—Martinet heuristics say nothing about the $2$-Sylow subgroup of the class group of a quadratic field. These heuristics were lat …

When is $K(\sqrt{a}, \sqrt{b})$ Galois over $\mathbb{Q}$ for $K$ a cyclic cubic field?

A necessary and sufficient condition is that $a$, $b$ be linearly independent in $K^{\times}/K^{\times 2}$ and the Galois group of $K$ cyclically permute the classes of $a$, $b$, and $ab$ in $K^{\time …

Dihedral extension unramified at primes dividing order of group?

$\DeclareMathOperator\Gal{Gal}$The answer is "yes", and this is an easy exercise in class field theory: if, for example, $q$ is a prime number that is $1\pmod n$, and $F$ is a quadratic number field i …

Finite order elements of $\mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{Z})$ that are conjugate to powers of themselves

The answer is "no" in general. There may be an elementary way of seeing this, but I will frame this in representation theoretic terms and will describe a general construction. The question is equivale …

How to compute Hilbert class field of $\Bbb Q(\zeta_{31})$?

This is a fun question, and I had already been thinking of making some comments on this in the question you link to. Apologies in advance for the long post. Actually, the quadratic subfield of $\mathb …

how to compute Hilbert class field of $\Bbb Q(\zeta_{23})$?

The cyclotomic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{23})$ contains the quadratic field $F=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-23})$, and $F$ has class number $3$ (it is the first quadratic field, when those are ordered by absolu …

How can we justify the use of Example 5,4 (of Cohen, Lenstra) assuming their heuristics

$\DeclareMathOperator\Aut{Aut}$I infer from the context that the precise meaning of "a random $\mathbb{Z}[\zeta_d]$-module modulo a random principal ideal" means that you start by producing a random $ …

Is there any conditions on a finite abelian group so that it cannot be class group of any nu...

It follows from the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic that every finite abelian group is expected to be isomorphic to infinitely many class groups of real quadratic fields (even to a positive proportion of real …

Local factors determine Weil representations - proof of the cyclic case

Why is the map ${\rm Gal}(FL/L)\to {\rm Gal}(F/K)$ injective? Elements of ${\rm Gal}(FL/L)$ are automorphisms of $FL$ that act trivially on $L$. To be in the kernel of the above map means to also act …

Does the unit index divide the degree of an extension of number fields?

No, not necessarily. For example, you can take $K\neq \mathbb{Q}$ to be totally real, and take $L$ to be a quadratic CM extension of $K$ whose unit group is equal to that of $K$ (e.g. make sure that $ …

Arakelov divisor on $\operatorname{Spec } O_F$: places or embeddings?

You would usually want the principal Arakelov divisors, i.e. those of the form $(\sum_{\mathfrak{p}}{\rm ord}_{\mathfrak{p}}(a), \sum_\sigma -\log|\sigma(a)|)$ for $a\in F^\times$, to be cocompact in …

Fermat's last theorem over larger fields

There might well be an elementary construction of infinitely many points (which I cannot think of right now), but in any case, I think that there are experts out there who expect there to be infinitel …

On a minimal algebraic number field which satisfies the principal ideal theorem

The answer to your first question is "no". In general, if $K/k$ is a cyclic unramified Galois extension of odd order, then the order of the capitulation kernel (the subgroup of the class group of $k$ …

What is the ring $A_{\Gamma}$ in the Cohen-Lenstra Heuristics?

The group $\Gamma$ is indeed isomorphic to the Galois groups of the fields in the family, whose class groups one studies. The class groups come with a natural action of $\Gamma$, but under this action …

Has Fermat's Last Theorem per se been used?

Corollary 3.17 in this paper of Stefan Keil uses FLT for exponent 7 to show that if $E/\mathbb{Q}$ is an elliptic curve with a rational 7-torsion point $P$, and $E\rightarrow E'$ is the 7-isogeny with …
