The feeble ℓ\ell-adic regulator conjecture

About 12 years old · traced to

Let KK be an algebraic number field and let K∞K_\infty be its cyclotomic Zℓ\mathbb Z_\ell-extension, with intermediate fields KnK_n satisfying [Kn:K]=ℓn[K_n:K]=\ell^n. For an extension Km/KnK_m/K_n, let Rℓ(Km/Kn)R_\ell(K_m/K_n) be the relative ℓ\ell-adic regulator formed from a system of fundamental relative units.

Feeble ℓ\ell-adic regulator conjecture. There exists an index n0n_0, depending only on KK and ℓ\ell, such that

Rℓ(Km/Kn)≠0R_\ell(K_m/K_n)\neq 0

for every m>n≥n0m>n\geq n_0.

This is presented as a relative, eventual nonvanishing analogue of the ℓ\ell-adic regulator conjecture. The supplied text gives no resolution, so it remains open.
