Greenberg's conjecture for arbitrary Galois extensions

Let bK/QbK/Q be an arbitrary Galois extension containing the pp-th roots of unity, and let H/KH/K_{\infty} be the maximal unramified pp-abelian extension of the cyclotomic ZpZ_p-extension KK_{\infty} of KK. Define

ΩE=nKn[En1/pn],En=O(Kn),\Omega_E=\bigcup_n K_n[E_n^{1/p^n}],\qquad E_n=O(K_n),

and set HE=HΩEH_{E'}=H\cap\Omega_E. Greenberg's conjecture.

[H:HE]<.[H:H_{E'}]<\infty.

This is presented as a general formulation of Greenberg's conjecture, motivated by numerical evidence and by equivalent or related finiteness assertions such as λ+=0\lambda^+=0 and finiteness of A+A^+ for CM fields. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open in this generality.
