Media type: E-Article Title: Modeling λ‐invariants by p‐adic random matrices Contributor: Ellenberg, Jordan S.; Jain, Sonal; Venkatesh, Akshay imprint: Wiley, 2011 Published in: Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, 64 (2011) 9, Seite 1243-1262 Language: English DOI: 10.1002/cpa.20375 ISSN: 0010-3640; 1097-0312 Keywords: Applied Mathematics ; General Mathematics Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>How often is the <jats:italic>p</jats:italic>‐adic λ‐invariant of an imaginary quadratic field equal to <jats:italic>m</jats:italic>? We model this by the statistics of random <jats:italic>p</jats:italic>‐adic matrices, and test these predictions numerically. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</jats:p>
