Statistics of $K$-groups modulo $p$ for the ring of integers of a varying quadratic number field

Bruce W. Jordan, Zev Klagsbrun, Bjorn Poonen, Christopher Skinner and Yevgeny Zaytman

Vol. 2 (2020), No. 2, 287–307
Abstract

For each odd prime p, we conjecture the distribution of the p-torsion subgroup of K2n(OF) as F ranges over real quadratic fields, or over imaginary quadratic fields. We then prove that the average size of the 3-torsion subgroup of K2n(OF) is as predicted by this conjecture.
