The Smoothness Conjecture for profinite groups

Let GG be a profinite group. Recall that GG is 1-smooth if it satisfies the relevant lifting property for cyclotomic modules. The weak Bloch–Kato property at pp means that, for every integer n1n\geq 1 and every open subgroup HGH\subset G, every class in Hn(H,k)H^n(H,k) is a quasi-symbol relative to the trivial one-dimensional (k,G)(k,G)-module kk. A profinite group is smooth if it is 11-smooth for every relevant prime and cyclotomic datum.

Smoothness Conjecture. If GG is 11-smooth, then it has the weak Bloch–Kato property. In particular, it is smooth.

This conjecture connects the lifting-theoretic notion of smoothness with the Bloch–Kato-type description of continuous cohomology by quasi-symbols. The source says that it is intended to be proved in future work; no resolution is supplied here.
