The feeble \ell-adic regulator conjecture

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

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

R(Km/Kn)0R_\ell(K_m/K_n)\neq 0

for every m>nn0m>n\geq n_0.

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