Abstract

Let RR be a finite local ring. We prove a quantitative universality statement for the cokernel of random matrices with i.i.d. entries valued in RR. Rather than use the moment method, we use the Lindeberg replacement technique. This approach also yields a universality result for several invariants that are finer than the cokernel, such as the span and the determinant.
