Boundedness conjecture for wild étale kernels in cyclotomic towers

About 18 years old · traced to

Let FF be a totally real number field, and let L/FL/F be abelian and contain the 2ℓ2\ell-th roots of unity. Write

F∞=⋃n∈NFn,F_\infty=\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb N}F_n,

and

L∞=⋃n∈NLnL_\infty=\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb N}L_n

for the cyclotomic Zℓ\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 ℓ\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.
