  • Description: <p>We prove a homological stabilization theorem for Hurwitz spaces: moduli spaces of branched covers of the complex projective line. This has the following arithmetic consequence: let ℓ &gt; 2 be prime and A a finite abelian ℓ-group. Then there exists Q = Q(A) such that, for q greater than Q, a positive fraction of quadratic extensions of 𝔽q(t) have the ℓ-part of their class group isomorphic to A.</p>
