Nilpotence conjecture for the Jacobson radical of small profinite rings

Let RR be a small profinite ring, meaning a profinite ring whose automorphism group respecting a distinguished countable inverse system has only countably many orbits on nn-tuples for every n<ωn<\omega. Let J(R)J(R) denote its Jacobson radical.

Nilpotence conjecture. The Jacobson radical J(R)J(R) is nilpotent. In particular, RR has an open nilpotent ideal.

The conjecture concerns the structure of the radical in small profinite rings. It is motivated by the known result that J(R)J(R) is open for such rings; the paper proves nilpotence for the Jacobson radical of weakly locally finite profinite rings, but the stated conjecture for all small profinite rings remains open.
