Abstract

We consider the Galois group G2(K)G_2(K) of the maximal unramified 22-extension of KK where K/QK/\mathbb{Q} is cyclic of degree 33. We also consider the group G2+(K)G^+_2(K) where ramification is allowed at infinity. In the spirit of the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics, we identify certain types of pro-22 group as the natural spaces where G2(K)G_2(K) and G2+(K)G^+_2(K) live when the 22-class group of KK is 22-generated. While we do not have a theoretical scheme for assigning probabilities, we present data and make some observations and conjectures about the distribution of such groups.
