Exploiting this relationship, we prove statistical results for the distribution of $\\lambda$-invariants for imaginary quadratic fields ordered according to their discriminant. Some of our results are conditional since they rely on the original Cohen--Lenstra heuristics for the distribution of the $p$-parts of class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. Some results are unconditional results ad are obtained by leveraging theorems of Byeon, Craig and others.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-08-14T14:51:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11R23" ], "keywords": [ "imaginary quadratic field", "iwasawa invariants", "distribution", "class group", "odd prime number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
