| Popis: | For random integer matrices $M_1,\ldots,M_k \in \operatorname{Mat}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ with independent entries, we study the distribution of the cokernel $\operatorname{cok}(M_1 \cdots M_k)$ of their product. We show that this distribution converges to a universal one as $n \to \infty$ for a general class of matrix entry distributions, and more generally show universal limits for the joint distribution of $\operatorname{cok}(M_1),\operatorname{cok}(M_1M_2),\ldots,\operatorname{cok}(M_1 \cdots M_k)$. Furthermore, we characterize the universal distributions arising as marginals of a natural generalization of the Cohen-Lenstra measure to sequences of abelian groups with maps between them, which weights sequences inversely proportionally to their number of automorphisms. The proofs develop an extension of the moment method of Wood to joint moments of multiple groups, and rely also on the connection to Hall-Littlewood polynomials and symmetric function identities. As a corollary we obtain an explicit universal distribution for coranks of random matrix products over $\mathbb{F}_p$ as the matrix size tends to infinity. Comment: 48 pages, no figures.
