The vanishing of the Iwasawa bcbc-invariant for totally real fields

Let FF be a totally real field, let FcycF_{\mathrm{cyc}} be its cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension, and let MM be the maximal abelian pp-extension of FcycF_{\mathrm{cyc}} unramified outside the places over pp. Then Gal(M/Fcyc)\operatorname{Gal}(M/F_{\mathrm{cyc}}) is a finitely generated Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-module.

Vanishing of the Iwasawa μ\mu-invariant. For every totally real field FF, the Galois group over FcycF_{\mathrm{cyc}} of the maximal abelian pp-extension of FcycF_{\mathrm{cyc}} unramified outside the places over pp is a finitely generated Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-module.

This is the vanishing of the Iwasawa μ\mu-invariant in the sense used to construct the non-commutative pp-adic LL-functions in the paper. The source invokes the weak Leopoldt conjecture to obtain finite generation and explicitly assumes this stronger finite-generation condition; no resolution is supplied here.
