The SS-torsion conjecture for non-commutative Iwasawa modules

Let p2p\neq 2 be a prime, let FF be a totally real number field, and let F/FF^{\infty}/F be a totally real Galois extension of infinite degree containing the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension, with compact pp-adic Lie Galois group GG and only finitely many ramified primes. Let Σ\Sigma contain all primes ramified in FF^{\infty}, let C=CF/FC=C_{F^{\infty}/F} be the dual étale cohomology complex, and let XΣ(F/F)X_{\Sigma}(F^{\infty}/F) be the Galois group of the maximal abelian pro-pp extension of FF^{\infty} unramified outside Σ\Sigma. Write SS for the canonical Ore set used to define K0(Zp[[G]],Zp[[G]]S)K_0(\mathbb{Z}_p[[G]],\mathbb{Z}_p[[G]]_S). The SS-torsion conjecture. The class [C][C] always belongs to K0(Zp[[G]],Zp[[G]]S)K_0(\mathbb{Z}_p[[G]],\mathbb{Z}_p[[G]]_S); equivalently, XΣ(F/F)X_{\Sigma}(F^{\infty}/F) is SS-torsion. This condition is equivalent, after passage to a suitable finite intermediate field, to the vanishing of the corresponding cyclotomic μ\mu-invariant; the conjecture is known under the stated sufficient μ=0\mu=0 condition but is not established in general.
