Abstract
In this article, we give a conjecture for the average number of unramified G-extensions of a quadratic field for any finite group G. The Cohen–Lenstra heuristics are the specialization of our conjecture to the case in which G is abelian of odd order. We prove a theorem toward the function field analogue of our conjecture and give additional motivations for the conjecture, including the construction of a lifting invariant for the unramified G-extensions that takes the same number of values as the predicted average and an argument using the Malle–Bhargava principle. We note that, for even |G|, corrections for the roots of unity in Q are required, which cannot be seen when G is abelian.
