Boston, Bush and Hajir have developed heuristics, extending the Cohen–Lenstra heuristics, that conjecture the distribution of the Galois groups of the maximal unramified pro-$p$extensions of imaginary quadratic number fields for$p$an odd prime. In this paper, we find the moments of their proposed distribution, and further prove there is a unique distribution with those moments. Further, we show that in the function field analog, for imaginary quadratic extensions of$\mathbb{F}_{q}(t)$, the Galois groups of the maximal unramified pro-$p$extensions, as$q\rightarrow \infty$, have the moments predicted by the Boston, Bush and Hajir heuristics. In fact, we determine the moments of the Galois groups of the maximal unramified pro-odd extensions of imaginary quadratic function fields, leading to a conjecture on Galois groups of the maximal unramified pro-odd extensions of imaginary quadratic number fields.

AbstractWe find a lower bound on the number of imaginary quadratic extensions of the function field whose class groups have an element of a fixed order.More precisely, let q ≥ 5 be a power of an odd prime and let g be a fixed positive integer ≥ 3. There are polynomials D ∈ with deg(D) ≤ ℓ such that the class groups of the quadratic extensions have an element of order g.

AbstractIn this paper, we find a lower bound on the number of cyclic function fields of prime degreelwhose class numbers are divisible by a given integern. This generalizes a previous result of D. Cardon and R. Murty which gives a lower bound on the number of quadratic function fields with class numbers divisible byn.
