We conjecture that this equidistribution holds for points associated to ideals of any fixed odd order. We prove a partial equidistribution result in this direction and present empirical evidence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-05-12T01:22:02.000Z", "title": "Average equidistribution of Heegner points associated to the 3-part of the class group of imaginary quadratic fields", "abstract": "We prove that the Heegner points attached to the 3-part of the class group of an imaginary quadratic field $\\Q(\\sqrt{-d})$ equidistribute in $\\mathcal{F} = SL_2(\\zed)\\backslash \\uH$ on average over $d$ as $d \\to \\infty$. As a result, we obtain a proof of the Davenport-Heilbronn theorem on the mean size of the 3-part of the class group without first passing through cubic fields. We also prove a uniform vertical density of Heegner points associated to the $k$-part of the class group high in the cusp of $\\mathcal{F}$, for any odd $k$. This leads to a conjectural negative secondary main term in the mean size of the $k$-part of the class group, refining the prediction of the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic.", "comment": "Updated references", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2016-05-17T02:07:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "class group", "imaginary quadratic field", "heegner points", "average equidistribution", "conjectural negative secondary main term" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1005.1458H" } } }
