Abstract:
Let be an imaginary quadratic field and let be the associated real quadratic field. Starting from the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics and Scholz's theorem, we make predictions for the behaviors of the 3-parts of the class groups of these two fields as varies. We deduce heuristic predictions for the behavior of the Iwasawa -invariant for the cyclotomic -extension of and test them computationally.
