Boundedness conjecture for wild étale kernels in cyclotomic towers

Let FF be a totally real number field, and let L/FL/F be abelian and contain the 22\ell-th roots of unity. Write

F=nNFn,F_\infty=\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb N}F_n,

and

L=nNLnL_\infty=\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb N}L_n

for the cyclotomic Z\mathbb Z_\ell-extensions. Let W ⁣K4i(Fn)W\!K_{4i}(F_n) and W ⁣K4i+2(Ln)W\!K^-_{4i+2}(L_n) denote the indicated wild étale kernels and their imaginary components.

Combined Iwasawa–Greenberg conjecture. The following groups have orders bounded independently of nn and ii: (i) the \ell-kernels W ⁣K4i(Fn)W\!K_{4i}(F_n); and (ii) the imaginary components W ⁣K4i+2(Ln)W\!K^-_{4i+2}(L_n).

This is stated as a consequence of combining the vanishing-μ\mu conjecture of Iwasawa with Greenberg's conjecture. The source does not provide a general proof beyond the hypotheses under which it is derived.
