Let us consider the following matrix $B_n$. The columns of $B_n$ are indexed with $[n]=\{1,2,\dots,n\}$ and the rows are indexed with $[n]^3$. The row corresponding to $(x_1,x_2,x_3)\in [n]^3$ is given by $\sum_{i=1}^3 e_{x_i}$, where…

Let $\mathbf{B}_n$ be an $n\times n$ Haar-uniform band matrix over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with band width $w_n$. We prove that $\text{cok}(\mathbf{B}_n)$ has Cohen-Lenstra limiting distribution if and only if \[\lim_{n\to\infty}…

For $n \times n$ random integer matrices $M_1,\ldots,M_k$, the cokernels of the partial products $\mathrm{cok}(M_1 \cdots M_i), 1 \leq i \leq k$ naturally define a random flag of abelian $p$-groups. We prove that as $n \to \infty$, this…
