Presentations of Galois groups of unramified extensions of global fields and its predicted distribution
Abstract
Motivated by the work of Liu, we study certain canonical quotients of GT(K) -- the Galois group of the maximal unramified extension of a global field K that is split completely at a finite nonempty set of places in T -- for Γ-extensions K/Q, and prove they have presentations of a particular form. This presentation leads us to the construction of a new random group model as in the work of Liu, Wood, and Zureick-Brown that predicts the distribution of GT(K) as we vary among Γ-extensions K/Q with prescribed local conditions at places in T, giving a generalization of the non-abelian Cohen-Lenstra-Martinet Heuristics. The key generalization is that Q can be an arbitrary global field, while this comes at a cost of introducing a prime-to-|ClT(Q)| condition in addition to avoiding roots of unity, |Γ|, and the characteristic if Q is a function field.
