The HS-L conjecture for Hilbert-Speiser and Leopoldt fields of type GG

Let KK be a number field and let GG be a finite abelian group. A number field KK is a Hilbert-Speiser field of type GG if, for every tame GG-Galois extension L/KL/K, the ring of integers OL\mathcal{O}_L is free as an OK[G]\mathcal{O}_K[G]-module. It is a Leopoldt field of type GG if, for every GG-Galois extension L/KL/K, the ring of integers OL\mathcal{O}_L is free as an AL/K\mathcal{A}_{L/K}-module, where

AL/K={xK[G]:x(OL)OL}.\mathcal{A}_{L/K}=\{x\in K[G]:x(\mathcal{O}_L)\subseteq\mathcal{O}_L\}.

HS-L(K,G)(K,G) conjecture. KK is a Hilbert-Speiser field of type GG if and only if KK is a Leopoldt field of type GG. This generalizes the equivalence of the unrestricted Hilbert-Speiser and Leopoldt properties; it is known when G=CpG=C_p has prime order pp and KK contains a primitive ppth root of unity, while the general case remains open.
