Abstract

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field in which the odd prime pp does not split. When the pp-part of the class group of KK is cyclic, we describe the possible structures for the pp-part of the class group of the first level of the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension of KK. This allows us to show the compatibility of the heuristics of Cohen--Lenstra--Martinet for class groups with the heuristics of Ellenberg--Jain--Venkatesh for how often the cyclotomic Iwasawa invariant λ\lambda equals 1.
