The distribution of sandpile groups of random graphs

M Wood - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2017 - ams.org
We determine the distribution of the sandpile group (or Jacobian) of the Erdős-Rényi
random graph $ G (n, q) $ as $ n $ goes to infinity. We prove the distribution converges to a …

A heuristic for boundedness of ranks of elliptic curves

J Park, B Poonen, J Voight, MM Wood - Journal of the European …, 2019 - ems.press
We present a heuristic that suggests that ranks of elliptic curves E over Q are bounded. In
fact, it suggests that there are only finitely many E of rank greater than 21. Our heuristic is …

-Selmer groups, -class groups, and Goldfeld's conjecture

A Smith - arxiv preprint arxiv:1702.02325, 2017 - arxiv.org
We prove that the $2^\infty $-class groups of the imaginary quadratic fields have the
distribution predicted by the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic. Given an elliptic curve E/Q with full …

Universality for cokernels of random matrix products

HH Nguyen, R Van Peski - Advances in Mathematics, 2024 - Elsevier
For random integer matrices M 1,…, M k∈ Mat n (Z) with independent entries, we study the
distribution of the cokernel Cok (M 1⋯ M k) of their product. We show that this distribution …

Local and global universality of random matrix cokernels

HH Nguyen, MM Wood - Mathematische Annalen, 2024 - Springer
In this paper we study the cokernels of various random integral matrix models, including
random symmetric, random skew-symmetric, and random Laplacian matrices. We provide a …

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 …

The distribution of sandpile groups of random regular graphs

A Mészáros - Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 2020 - ams.org
We study the distribution of the sandpile group of random $ d $-regular graphs. For the
directed model, we prove that it follows the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, that is, the limiting …

Probability theory for random groups arising in number theory

MM Wood - Proc. Int. Cong. Math, 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 …

Local limits in pp‐adic random matrix theory

R Van Peski - Proceedings of the London Mathematical …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We study the distribution of singular numbers of products of certain classes of pp‐adic
random matrices, as both the matrix size and number of products go to∞ ∞ simultaneously …

On a Cohen–Lenstra heuristic for Jacobians of random graphs

J Clancy, N Kaplan, T Leake, S Payne… - Journal of Algebraic …, 2015 - Springer
In this paper, we make specific conjectures about the distribution of Jacobians of random
graphs with their canonical duality pairings. Our conjectures are based on a Cohen–Lenstra …
