Abstract: We consider the distribution of the Galois groups

o p e r a t o r n a m e G a l (K^{o p e r a t o r n a m e u n} / K)

of maximal unramified extensions as

K

ranges over

G a m m a

-extensions of

m a t h b b Q

or

m a t h b b F_{q} (t)

. We prove two properties of

o p e r a t o r n a m e G a l (K^{o p e r a t o r n a m e u n} / K)

coming from number theory, which we use as motivation to build a probability distribution on profinite groups with these properties. In Part I, we build such a distribution as a limit of distributions on

n

-generated profinite groups. In Part II, we prove as

q i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

, agreement of

o p e r a t o r n a m e G a l (K^{o p e r a t o r n a m e u n} / K)

as

K

varies over totally real

G a m m a

-extensions of

m a t h b b F_{q} (t)

with our distribution from Part I, in the moments that are relatively prime to

q (q - 1) | G a m m a |

. In particular, we prove for every finite group

G a m m a

, in the

q i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

limit, the prime-to-

q (q - 1) | G a m m a |

-moments of the distribution of class groups of totally real

G a m m a

-extensions of

m a t h b b F_{q} (t)

agree with the prediction of the Cohen--Lenstra--Martinet heuristics.
